Breakpoint debugging my VST: how do I get past this ".pdb not included" (symbols) in Visual Studio?

General JUCE discussion
1

I’m attaching my VST3 plugin to my DAW and breakpoint debugging it and, in VS2022, stepping over the code, until I reach a point I can’t pass which is where VS asks for the reaper.pdb (the DAW I’m using).

How do I get past this? I tried Tools > Options > Debugging-General / Enable just my code
and Tools > Options > Debugging Symbols - Load only specified modules.

In the image when I select Microsoft Symbol Servers and choose Load, it says “reaper.pdb could not be found…”

Are you trying to debug Reaper or did you attach your plugin to Reaper?

I’m attaching my plugin to Reaper. I have been stepping over the PluginProcessor.cpp constructor, and eventually somewhere in JUCE wrapper it invokes this Reaper.pdb message.
