Provides a Run/Debug Configuration to easily test your VS Code extension inside of IntelliJ IDEA.

• Uses remote debugging, which is slower than native VS Code debugging
• Debugger does not work immediately after invoking Reload Window
• Cannot debug tests
• Before launch tasks are blocking, so we cannot use npm watch (never terminates).
  I'll have to think how to work around this.

The plugin needs JavaScript and NodeJS support, and because of that IntelliJ IDEA Community is not supported.

1. Create a VS Code Run Configuration

   

2. Select the path of your local VS Code installation, and the project's module containing the extension

   

3. Optionally configure Before launch tasks.
   It is important to select background tasks (plugin specific), which do not block the Run Configuration execution.
