Using on-premises TFS 2015 running the task "Index Sources & Publish Symbols" with the following settings
Path to publish symbols: \\myserver\symbols
Search pattern: **\bin\**\*.pdb
Path to symbols folder: <I left this empty>
I always get the following error message
Unable to index one or more source files for symbols file ....pdb
I tried it with debug and release configuration. With and without code optimization. Nothing. I always get this error.
It is important to note, that the pdb files are getting generated on the share(thus I think all the symbol server settings are corrent) but unfortunately they have the hardcoded path to the source files within.
What do I have to do to get the files indexed? What could be the reason why all files can not be indexed? What are the prerequisites for indexing files? Thanks a lot.
