How can I generate PDB files for a DUB package?

Question

I am creating a Vibe.D based program as windows service and I want to debug it. I just tried to attach Visual Studio to the process but it was not loading the debugging information so, I was wondering how can I get the PDB files after a dub build --build=debug ?

Answer 1

Dub appears to generate the PDB file as %CD%\\.dub\\build\\<config-hash?>\\<exe>.pdb . I had to use dir /s /b *.pdb to find it.

Update: I have sinced discovered that dub does not appear honour the targetPath in dub.sdl either for a .pdb file and so there appears to be no easy way to access it. I have filed bug #1962 to investigate further.
