Description

I noticed other posts on the issue, which are now quite old. Is it still the stance that this will not be supported at all? I'm trying to get a seemingly simple thing to work, which is to not have the Visual Studio (2017) debugger detach when nodemon restarts NodeJS. I imagine it happens because the NodeJS process terminates and restarts (but a port is being used, so it may just be the connection is lost). Is there no way at all to have VS auto-reconnect to the port? Is it really that big of a problem to support this? If not, I may be forced to switch to VS Code (I'm sure I'm not the first or the last if this persists). I work for a large company and we are switching over to doing a lot with NodeJS. If we convert projects over to VS Code we will just use that and stop using VS, which seems like a bad business choice for MS.
