Could not index source files for Legacy.CommonClassLibrary.pdb; returning unindexed pdb.



  • When using Proget as a symbol server Visual Studio is able to pull the PDB files but doesn't pull the source files. I'm wondering if this warning is why?

    Product: ProGet
    Version: 5.0.6



  • Please refer to the Symbol and Source Server docs for steps on how to construct a special source package, and host it in ProGet. Note there are several debugging steps that you can follow to see what the issue is.



  • Alana,

    This doesn't address the error or the problem at all. I followed this guide to the letter to set things up.

    I have constructed a symbol package, I have uploaded only the symbol package, I have used "symbol" in the url and not "nuget", and I have set the correct symbol and debug settings in visual studio to use Proget as a symbol server.

    It is working, but only partially, and there are errors reporting in the admin logs that seem to be related to why I may not be getting the source files and only the PDBs or that the source files that are pulled down with the package are not correctly linked from the pdb.

    Warning: SymbolServer
    Could not index source files for Legacy.CommonClassLibrary.pdb; returning unindexed pdb.

    Also, this related error when trying to click "re-index" on the symbol server:

    Can you please address this issue or do I need to open a support ticket?

    Thanks,
    Jarrod



  • Perhaps it's a "portable" PDB format? If you upgrade to the latest (5.0.9), this newer format is now supported.



  • From what I understand "portable" PDBs were introduced with dotnet core. This is some legacy code that is written in vb.net and is using the full .net framework. As far as I know it is just a traditional windows PDB.
