Unable to load symbols for vst3 plugin in AudioPluginHost

I have been working successfully on a vst3 plugin on windows using Visual Studio 2022, Juce 7. I have been debugging my vst3 plugin using the Juce AudioPluginHost for development.

Today when I tried to debug it VS refuses to load the symbol file (pdb). If I manually search for it and try to load the symbols it says that the file doesn’t contain information for the loaded module?

I have tried cleaning and rebuilding, copying the pdb file into the directory where the vst3 is located etc.

Could this have something to do with the vst3 being compiled as a dll and the renamed to .vst3?

I got it to work if I have the host scan for the directory with the dll file and not the .vst3 file.
