Expected behaviour

The debugging session should start normally and correctly map breakpoints.

Actual behaviour

The debugging session should fails at start and cannot map some breakpoints until reloaded.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Setup a launch debugging configuration or compound where the preLaunchTask involves starting a Docker container in detached mode (like docker compose up -d) 2. Launch the debugging session 3. Observe the debugging session fail, not be launched or produce errors (like breakpoints not being mapped correctly) 4. Launch the session again and works normally.

Tasks in general are handled by VSCode proper, so adding some form of delay to them would have to be done in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode. But I think their intent is that for anything that requires this degree of complexity, a task spawning a script (that can then use the standard scripting facilities to wait on timer, or on some external condition) is the way to go.
