From where can I download build symbols generated by VSTS Build?

I included the Index Sources and Publish Symbols task in my build pipeline and my build succeed.

In my build info, I can see that build symbols were generated, but I am not able to download those symbol files. Can you point me to the path from where can I download the build symbols?

EDIT:

Why I need build Symbols:

I have my build associated with the Hockey App and in order to get more refine details for the crash report I want to associate build symbols in the Hockey App.

What I tried:

I also tried to provide build symbol path in Hockey App agent but it didn't upload any symbol and the only build was uploaded.

Below are my VSTS build configurations:

Publish Symbol Path

Hockey App Agent:

After the help from Justin, I update my build agent and now my build Agent looks like this:

I can see the symbols in build artifact but the content in the folder seems to be a little weird, I can't figure out which PDB is for X86 and X64.

Solution

  • It looks like you're publishing the symbols to the Build.SourcesDirectory, it's cut off in your picture. You need to publish to the Build. ArtifactStagingDirectory.

    Also, if you need to take a peek at where things are on your agent you can add a task. For Windows agents I add a powershell task, select inline script, then do something like:

    tree /F $(Agent.BuildDirectory)

    Then check your logs for that task.
