Can't open pdb file ...\packages\sqlite-net-pcl.1.4.118\lib\netstandard1.1\SQLite-net.pdb

[aphex3k]

I'm trying to build a Windows Phone 8 project from command line using MSBuild. Using Visual Studio 2015 everything seems to be working ok, but from command line I get the following error:

_GenerateAppxSymbolPackage:
Can't open pdb file <redacted>.mobile\packages\sqlite-net-pcl.1.4.118\lib\netstandard1.1\SQLite-net.pdb

I fails creating the debug symbols and subsequently errors out at the CreateAppStoreContainer step due to the missing .appxsym.

This is the command line i use to kick of the build:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe" /target:<redacted>_WindowsPhone8 /p:Configuration=Release "/p:Platform=Any CPU" /m /p:DebugSymbols=false /p:DebugType=None <redacted>.mobile.sln

Please let me know if what more information you need or maybe I'm doing it wrong?

FWIW the Windows 10 UWP build works fine from command line...

I think when using Visual Studio to add the nuget package it adds the wrong reference. It adds lib\netstandard1.1 when it should add lib\portable-net45+wp8+wpa81+win8+MonoAndroid10+MonoTouch10+Xamarin.iOS10?!

Yeah darn. The PDB file is the new portable format - perhaps VS 2015 can't understand it. I would have assumed it would just ignore it then. I guess I could remove it?

[aphex3k]

other pdbs seem to work ok though? Im not to familiar with msbuild so I can only guess but I have a hunch your question was rethorical?

[praeclarum]

Yeah the format changed but the extension remained the same. Unfortunately I use mono to build everything and can't generate the old format. I'll strip them out.

Thanks Frank!

Please reopen this issue because the problem is still there in the latest NuGet release

Same problem here.
