Run without debugging on VSCode

I have setup STM32 VSCode extension on my PC and it is amazing. The only problem that I have encountered is that it is not possible to run the code without debugging. I removed the "runToEntryPoint": "main" line in launch.json. But every time I launch the code it attaches a debugger. How can I simply run the code without debugging?

 

Thank you,

Damiano

      In the tasks.json file, there is a a "task" labeled STM32: CubeProg: Flash project (SWD) 

      You can execute this task to perform a "flash and reset" altogether! 

      There are 3 options to execute this: 

      Option1: By "clicking": Terminal > Run Task... > CubeProg: Flash Project (SWD)

      Option2 via Run Task keyboard shortcut:

      Option3: Pre-installed keyboard shortcut:

      • CTRL + P
      • Type: "Task CubePro..." <-- You will notice that the menu auto-suggests tasks matching your pattern.

      Option3: Pre-installed keyboard shortcut: 

      • CTRL+ALT+F <-- This will immediately execute the same task

      Hey! Thanks for this, I thought I was going crazy as I had some old proejcts generated using an older version with these tasks added automatically! 

      The tasks you suggest are using the command to call the STM32_Programmer_CLI which should have been replaced in v 3.7.0 with the built in CLI tools installed through the bundles manager. Do you have an idea of how to recreate this functionality without installing the STM32CubeProgrammer?
