node.js - Visual Studio Code to use node version specified by NVM

Question

Is it possible for VS Code to use node version specified by NVM?

I have 6.9.2 installed locally. Even after switching to another version, from the OS X terminal (not the VS Code terminal), restarting VS Code, VS Code still shows using 6.9.2.

OS X terminal

MacBook-Pro-3:~ mac$ node -v
v7.8.0

VS Code Terminal

MacBook-Pro-3:QB-Invoice-API mac$ node -v
v6.9.2

In VS Code, go to your launch.json file and add the runtimeVersion attribute inside configurations, as shown below. (In this example, we are assuming 4.8.7 is already installed using nvm)

{
"version": "<some-version>",
"configurations": [
    {
        "type": "node",
        "runtimeVersion": "4.8.7", // If i need to run node 4.8.7
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/sample.js"
    }
