Unable to debug React Native using VSCode

Fresh init of a RN project with a fresh copy of React Native Full Pack in VSCode. I'm unable to get this new project to debug, but am able to get other projects to debug using the same methods. I've tried recreating the project and still no dice. I can use react-native run-android in a command prompt to get it to debug, but not VSCode. I keep getting this error:

events.js:167
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'c:\Users\user\Documents\repos\app\android\app\build\generated\not_namespaced_r_class_sources\debug\processDebugResources\r\android\support\asynclayoutinflater'

[Error] Error: Error while executing command 'react-native.cmd run-android --no-packager': Error while executing command 'react-native.cmd run-android --no-packager' (error code 101)

I've also tried running the packager first, but it still default to a --no-packager run.
