Exit Code 1 when trying to run Scalene

[Cyclomactic]

While trying to run Scalene extension in VSCode, I received Exit Code 1. I modified extension code to see more details (https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene-vscode-extension/blob/main/extension.js#L94). Then figured out that it has problems importing python modules from different directories.
Hard coded cwd in js line 83:

const proc = child_process.spawn(executablePath, args, {"cwd":"{path to project folder}"});

For reference, my folder structure is

project dir
|- sub_folder
|  \- file_to_profile.py
\- util.py

VSCode's "Run and Debug" works fine with this structure.
