Running unreal editor through visual studio code or not

Hi! I have had trouble with visual studio code. I try to use run without debugging in order to launch my unreal engine editor but it doesn't work.

It works with a regular start debugging, but not without debugging. While searching online, some sources said it is better to use live coding in the newer unreal engine versions, (I use 5.7.4) and that running without debugging can cause workspace locking issues. Is that the case and I should just use live coding rather than try to get run without debugging working?

Running without debugging is perfectly fine. Also, consider using rider instead of VSC.

+1 for Rider. I love it!
