Symbol indexing is not working

[tg73]

I'm evaluating the docker agent image. We have the symbol server feature enabled on the TC server. I'm getting build errors when using the docker agent:

.NET 3.5 runtime required for symbols indexing was not found on build agent.
Failed to find Source Server tools home directory. No symbol and source indexing will be performed.

Is there a reason that the docker image does not contain the required components? Could you add them? And how can I add them myself in the mean time?

The documentation does not specifically cover use with the docker image.

I'm using jetbrains/teamcity-agent:2018.1.1-windowsservercore-1803

@tg73, it looks like you're using outdated Symbol Server plugin version. Try downloading the latest plugin version compatible with TeamCity 2017.2+: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TW/Symbol+Server#SymbolServer-Downloaddownload

To resolve the issue with "Failed to find Source Server tools home directory. No symbol and source indexing will be performed." you need to install Debugging Tools into container image.

Typically you could use the docker file like that:

FROM jetbrains/teamcity-agent:2018.1.1-windowsservercore-1803

# Install Mercurial
RUN Invoke-WebRequest https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/A/0/5A08CEF4-3EC9-494A-9578-AB687E716C12/windowssdk/winsdksetup.exe?ocid=wdgcx1803-download-installer -OutFile winsdksetup.exe; \
    Start-Process winsdksetup.exe -Wait -ArgumentList /features + /q ; \
    Remove-Item -Force winsdksetup.exe

Then start teamcity build agent from the image built from this docker file.

I followed your suggested actions, and it's working for me now, thanks. Perhaps this information should be added to the documentation?
