Hi guys, at least in VS Code if there is a compiler error during the dotnet electronize start's build step, there are still enough old built *.exe's lying around that the electron app will appear to launch and run, but it's running the last successful build not the current code. Definitely a recipe for burning a ton of extra time debugging the wrong exe, and trying to remember to either manually clean bin and obj before each build or manually doing an explicit build step (which spews less into the terminal window) before running start. Having start abort if the build fails would be a huge help.
