Re-use terminal after re-starting VS Code #23529

Open Alconion opened 5 months ago

I ran a Python code in VS Code and everything worked fine, but after closing VS Code and reopening it, running the same program that I ran last time before closing the application creates a new terminal. Even if I close the new terminal and run the program again, it creates another new terminal. How can I stop this?

I have asked on reddit and stack flow and i got no answers. Please help.

Python extension does not have the state of the terminal saved to ensure it is activated. This is an API that is missing in VS Code. We need a way to know the state of the terminal so we can send the commands to the same terminal, after VS Code is closed and reopened.

/cc @Tyriar This is one of those cases where having the ID on the terminal object might help with.
