Task iar: Open Workspace in IAR Embedded Workbench is running until the workbench is closed

[pawelszramowski]

Describe the bug:
When the iar: Open Workspace in IAR Embedded Workbench task is used, it opens the workbench and keeps running as long as IAR is kept open.

To Reproduce:
Press Ctrl + P, enter task iar, open the iar group, and choose iar: Open Workspace in IAR Embedded Workbench.

Expected behavior:
IAR EWB is started and the task finishes successfully immediately.

Actual behavior:
IAR EWB is started and the task only finishes successfully when IAR is closed.

Environment:

• OS: Windows
• Embedded Workbench: Arm
• Embedded Workbench version: 8.40
• VSC Extension version: v1.30.6

Additional context:
Since in some contexts it may actually be reasonable to wait until IAR is closed, it would be nice to have the waiting as a configurable option.

Thanks for the bug report!

You are right, the default behaviour should be for the task to finish immediately. I've filed a bug report internally, but I can't promise any timeline on when we'll get to it.
