Description
Hi!
When I use
{
"name": "Python Debugger: Attach using Process Id",
"type": "debugpy",
"request": "attach",
"processId": "${command:pickProcess}",
"justMyCode": false,
},
I get a list of all (?) processes on my computer that I can attach to. A lot of them, at least.
Typically, I attach to the same process name (but different path due to parallel builds)
Could we add for example a property like below to only list items matching path (or regex ?) below to pick from?
"processNameFilter":"*/build/myproc.exe"
Regards
Thomas
