Description
It would be great if the Qt VSCode extension could mimic Qt Creator’s behavior when changes are made during an ongoing build. Currently, if you modify the code while a build is running, the extension throws a build error with exit code 1.
I suggest the extension be updated to open a new executable with the modified code even when a build executable is running, allowing for a more seamless development workflow.
Proposed Behavior:
• Current Behavior:
•When a build is running and code is changed, the extension reports a build error (exit code 1), preventing the new executable from running.
• Suggested Behavior:
•When code changes are detected during with a built executable running , the extension should:
- Keep the current executable running
- Initiate a new build process for the modified code.
- Launch the new executable once the build completes, similar to how Qt Creator handles these scenarios. Now you have both executables running
- OR: Terminate the currently running executable and rebuild.
