symbol server capability for the NuGet package registry symbol packages (.snupkg)
Proposal
Nuget symbol package capability (.snupkg) was added in %14.1
Outstanding from that issue is:
- Ensure Visual Studio and dotnet-symbol are able to consume these symbol packages correctly.
Consuming symbol packages is not yet guaranteed using clients such as Visual Studio or dotnet-symbol. The .snupkg files are available for download through the UI or the API.
A customer has asked if GitLab provides symbol server support (GitLab team members can read more in the ticket).
Reading the "Improved package debugging experience with the NuGet.org symbol server" announcement the final steps detail how to "consume snupgg in Visual studio"
Under Symbol file (.pdb) locations, add a new symbol server location by selecting the + symbol in the toolbar. Use the following URL https://symbols.nuget.org/download/symbols
This feature request is to
- document how to configure GitLab as a symbol server
- add the necessary back end support so GitLab can act as a symbol server
