I am in the process of setting up a multi-folder workspace and associated launch configuration for debugging.

One launch config just needs to run 'npm run debug' as part of its own launch.json, so that the workspace compound task can run all three simultaneously.

No debugger. No node. Just 'npm run debug'.

So I've created a task that runs the command directly in the shell, but it's proving impossible to just run that task from launch.json.

Can we add a launch configuration that only runs a task, and nothing else?
