Description
vscode: 1.86.1
python: 3.11.5
python-debugger: v2024.1.10371006
When debugging inside part of code with multiple processes (e.g., inside get_item of pytorch dataset), multiple subprocesses are found, and one can switch between those. However, when killing the main process, all other subprocesses are kept alive, and the debugger hangs, waiting for all to be killed or continued.
Adding a feature that kills all subprocesses when the main is killed would be helpful to avoid having to spam the stop button.
