[Bug]: VSCode does not stop testing process while debugging playwright config

[skamansam]

Version

1.46.1

Steps to reproduce

1. create a new project: npm init playwright@latest new-project
   a. use typescript (not sure if that matters)
2. open project in vscode
3. install the playwright extension
4. add a debugger breakpoint in VSCode to the line in playwright.config.ts that is export default defineConfig({
5. run the tests in debug mode
6. stop the debug process by using the debug toolbar

Expected behavior

the tests to stop so I can run the tests again

Actual behavior

The test processes do not stop. The output os ps confirms it. After killing the processes, the test/debug panel in VSCode still soins as if the tests were still running.

Additional context

I am using VSCode Insiders -

Thanks for the report! I'm able to reproduce. I believe what's happening is that the VS Code debugger detaches, but the debugged process continues to be halted on the breakpoint. I'll see what we can do to fix this.
