It would be great if auto refresh could be added to VSCode and IntelliJ so that the IDEs pick up changes from the model.json file without us having to relaunch the IDEs.
This would help us with our automation.

I discussed this with John on chat. Here are the options he suggested. I told him either option would work for us, but option 2 would be better.
1)We could have a refresh button that could reload that model. that button could be triggered from the test. The refresh button could sit next to the + new configuration button.
Once clicked, it'll reload the existing configurations with contents from that file.
2)Listening for a change to that json file could work too
