Unable to start debugging interactive session

Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with launching a powershell debugging session.

When launching a debug session, the powershell session crashes with this error (found it in the event viewer)

Error Message = The process cannot access the file 'c:\Users\avezina\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-preview-2019.12.0\logs\1578329950-8940193b-522e-41b2-b5f5-c1fce8b387181578329944994\StartEditorServices.log' because it is being used by another process.
Fully Qualified Error ID = System.IO.IOException,Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Commands.StartEditorServicesCommand

[rjmholt]

Ok let me have a play with this this week. I know where it’s occurring, so hopefully it’s not too hard to work out why and how to fix it.

[rjmholt]

is it already fixed? Do I need to do something else than updating the extension?

It won’t be available until the next release, which we’re currently planning to do before the end of the month
