Changing the external console used by launch.json

I'm trying to get the output from the process I am debugging to display in iTerm.

I have added the following lines to my UserSettings file

"terminal.external.osxExec": "iTerm.app", "terminal.explorerKind": "external", 

And when I select open in terminal from within Visual Studio Code it does indeed open with iTerm.

However when I set "externalConsole": true, in my launch.json file, the output still shows up in a new Terminal.app window.

How do I get the debugging output to show up in iTerm? Do I need to change more settings?

I have read this question. The steps I took above came from answers to that question but my problem is specifically in getting the debugging output to iTerm.

There is a varible in the settings file named "terminal.external.osxExec". That was set to Terminal App in my settings. You can change that variable to iTerm.app.
