Visual Studio does not try to get sources

Hello,

I made a sample symbols package and pushed it to the ProGet server. Visual Studio is correctly configured, according to the tutorial.

According to Fiddler, VS retrieves successfully the PDB from the server, but it does not try to get the sources. It tries to access the source locally, from where it was compiled.

Hello,

Using DIA2Dump on my PDB, the local source path is dumped.

Hmm... not sure why it's doing that - it should resolve the paths as you would expect.

Can you send us (support at inedo) this example NuGet package to see if we can repro, or post a link to download it here?

By default, Visual Studio 2012 and later does not use the source server even if the PDBs contain the correct source indexing information. To enable the source server, go to Tools > Options, Debugging, General and check "Enable source server support".

This is disabled by default as it's a security risk. The mechanism for the source server encodes a command to execute into the PDB file, therefore untrusted PDB files could execute arbitrary code. Users have to opt in.

See "Use Source Servers" in Specify Symbol (.pdb) and Source Files in the Visual Studio Debugger for more information.
