If users use 'Build and Debug Active File' with "engineLogging", the resolveDebugConfigurations will quickly switch to the output window and ${fileBasenameNoExtension} will resolve to something similar to ./extension-output-#5.

This may be a bug with VS Code determining the output window to be a file, but this will unblock users who need to enable engine logging for this scenario.

Example broken task.json

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "g++ - Build and debug active file",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ],
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
            "miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb",
            "logging": {
                "engineLogging": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

Will result in:

g++: error: extension-output-#5: No such file or directory
g++: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
The terminal process "/bin/bash '-c', '/usr/bin/g++ -g extension-output-#5 -o ./extension-output-#5'" failed to launch (exit code: 1).

If users use 'Build and Debug Active File' with "engineLogging", the resolveDebugConfigurations will quickly switch to the output window and `${fileBasenameNoExtension}` will resolve to something similar to `./extension-output-#5`.

This may be a bug with VS Code determining the output window to be a file, but this will unblock users who need to enable engine logging for this scenario.
