Set application run directory to executable path

[Shatur]

This change addresses item #1395

This changes run and debugging behavior

The following changes are proposed:

• Run and debug directory set to the application directory.

The purpose of this change

If the application writes files, then it will not output them to the workspace folder. It will also work correctly if it uses shared objects (plugins), which are copied to its folder. This is how it works in most IDE's.

Other Notes/Information

I applied changed suggested by @alan-wr. But it works for run without debug. It looks like cwd: '${workspaceFolder}', not expanded.

Testing project.zip

All CLA requirements met.

I figured it out, now works as expected.

Thanks @Shatur95! We're finishing up another project this week and are hoping to get back to CMake Tools next week and review your PR.

[Shatur]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.

[Shatur]

Thank you!

@bobbrow, could you draft a new release with this change?
I see that a fairly large 0.5 milestone is planned, but it would be nice to get the recent fixes sooner.

[bobbrow]

If you want to build your own, the process is pretty quick.

1. Install VSCE: npm install -g vsce
2. In the root of the repository, run: vsce package --yarn -o cmake-tools.vsix
3. Run the "Extensions: Install From VSIX" command in VS Code and select the cmake-tools.vsix you built in step 2.

Thanks! Yes, I know how to build it manually, but just need to do it on every machine.
But not a problem of course.

[bobbrow]

You shouldn't need to build it on every machine, but you will need to manually install it on each machine. Is that what you meant?

[Shatur]

Yes, that's why I suggested draft release with recent fixes.
But I changed my mind, will built it manually until the next release. Thanks for quick response!

Unfortunately we don't have an insiders program set up for this extension yet. If we uploaded to the Marketplace it would go to everyone and we're not ready to do that yet.

[alan-wr]

It is better to have daily or commit extension binary.
