Ignore socks errors and repl

[GoogleIsEvil]

1. Is there some way to get a repl that is connected to the (attached) debug session? The debug console does not allow creating variables, functions, etc which would be helpful.

2. I get this error a lot which interrupts my process due to how the host app responds to it.

I replaced sendFully with
-- Define a global flag (modify this name to avoid conflicts)
_TERMINATE_SCRIPT = false

local function terminate_script()
-- Set the flag and return to unwind the current function
_TERMINATE_SCRIPT = true
return
end

local function sendFully(str)
local first = 1
while first <= #str do
-- Check the termination flag at each iteration
if _TERMINATE_SCRIPT then return end

local sent = sock:send(str, first)
if sent and sent > 0 then
  first = first + sent
else
  if not ignoreSockError then
    error('sock:send() returned < 0') -- Original error behavior
  else
    terminate_script()
    return -- Exit sendFully() immediately
  end
end

end
end

along with adding ignoreSockError config.

This code was actually generated by qwen ai as it figured out how to go about doing this. I have to do it this way because I have no way to exit my script with os.exit or any other means. If error is used the host wants to make a big fuss about the script.

So any time I terminate the debugger in vscode I have to go to the host and give it a cookie to shut it up and this interrupts the flow.

Also, I'm having to use a task to launch my script using a shell command(since it is remotely launched). To make it work I have to use an arbitrary time delay as I wait for the debugger to boot up. I usually wait about 1.5seconds and it seems any lower I start to risk false starts.

Is there any way or could there be to have the task launch after the debugger goes into waiting?
