To do that do F1 > Run Task > Full Build Debug (All Steps)

Then just select your preferred launch configuration in the Run and Debug Menu and hit F5.

Option B - Configure, Build, Run

When you just want to run your latest changes without installing dependencies again, use the Configure and Build (Debug) task, as described in Option A.

Then select your preferred launch option and hit F5.
