I'm making a vscode extension for my personal use. I'd really like to use a more recent node version. However, I'm not sure how does VSCode chooses which node version to use.
The only node.js that I have installed is 8.1.3. But when I debug the extension, I see that VSCode uses 7.*.* (via process.version).
I've been searching documentation for an hour, so far, without luck. Any help is appreciated.
