But instead of closing this item (as no longer necessary), I've repurposed it by removing the specific debug use case.\r\nFor transparency you can find the original comment below:\r\n\r\n> Currently it is not possible to debug more than one process from a single VS Code project (= window)\r\n> because VS Code prevents opening a folder more than once.\r\n> \r\n> The workaround is to open VS code on a subfolder within the original folder, which means to restructure the project (which is not desirable).\r\n> \r\n> This feature request asks for lifting the constraint and allowing to open a project folder multiple times. \r\n> \r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/vscode/issues/comments/381038659","html_url":"https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/2686#issuecomment-381038659","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/vscode/issues/2686","id":381038659,"user":{"login":"weinand","id":1898161,"avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/1898161?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand","html_url":"https://github.com/weinand","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/weinand/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-04-13T06:37:30Z","updated_at":"2018-04-13T06:37:30Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"@changan1995 since VS Code supports concurrent debug sessions, you can debug \"several executable file\" in one VS Code window at the same."}}
