NodeJS Interactive window stuck

[kant2002]

I run express application via .npm start and now I have to restart VS to stop that application from running. There no way to terminate session.

Yeah... We never quite implemented terminating sessions :-/. As a workaround for now... instead of restarting vs, you can kill the process in task manager.

So what is the fix in VS2017?

[crazycrank]

Still no fix as it seems...

I just ran into this same issue. It would be nice to be able to CTL + C to exit the running nodejs client or server app from within the interactive window rather than to have a separate command window open outside of VS 2017..

This pretty much makes using the npm interactive window useless to run applications. Back to using a normal Powershell terminal...
