Command to restart hie about vscode-haskell HOT 7 CLOSED

@Swoorup Could you use the general command "Reload Window" (by default bint to ctrl + R) as workaround?

from vscode-haskell.

@jneira Can confirm that works as a workaround.

Will use that for now. Just an FYI, there are other LanguageServer that has this feature as well.

I'd very much like this too, but haven't been able to find anything in the VSCode LSP that would allow that. If anyone can point me to somewhere in the documentation where it says something about stopping and starting the server again, I'd be fine with giving it a stab :)

Simplest is just to kill the server, vscode is quite good at restarting if it disappears.

And we do get the process id back. Because having recently got this in emacs (emacs-lsp/lsp-mode#290, for me anyway), I can testify to its usefulness.

If it restarts on it's own, I guess we could add a command to send a kill signal to hie via VSCode? I can look into a PR if it's worth investigating further :)

the ability to restart the HIE would help when the diagnostics are not updated automatically. perhaps simpler but still very helpful would be a way to see which pid the HIE thread has (the one for this vs code terminal -- there are typically several ones)

👍 for this. I would like restart feature especially in cases when I add new stack packages and HIE isn't able to update its internal definition. A restart would solve this for now.
