ReferenceError: Request is not defined on launch

[bonder]

Describe the bug

Can't launch using the dev script.

Reproduction

npm create svelte@latest life-insurance (Skeleton/JSDoc/try Svelte 5 preview) cd life-insurance npm install git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit" (optional) code .

Then I simply run the dev script and click the link to open the site.

I tried following the suggested fix in the error output, but it doesn't help me.

Note: I also tried the same flow as above but without the Svelte 5 preview option and also get this same experience.

Logs

Terminal output in VS code:

Closing as this is unrelated to Svelte. You can read about solutions in this thread: https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools/issues/2278 (also check out the Discord link in one of the posts)
