    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:

      1. Keep the current executable running 
      2. Initiate a new build process for the modified code.
      3. Launch the new executable once the build completes, similar to how Qt Creator handles these scenarios. Now you have both executables running
      4. OR: Terminate the currently running executable and rebuild.
