Description Ralf Habacker 2018-12-23 16:53:02 UTC 
Binaries created at KDE binary factory does not provide any debug symbols in the opposite to the binaries generated from obs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download the portable binary package from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Umbrello_Nightly_win64/
2. unpack it
3. inspect to see if there are any .pdb (msvc) or gcc related debug (.sym, .dbg) files

OBSERVED RESULT
There are no symbols files available, neither included or downloadable from the above mentioned website.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be a way to get debug symbols for the related binary package to be able to get valid backtraces in crashing case. Otherwise it would not be possible to give developers detailed crash informations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS
Normally KDE applications uses drkonqi to report crash reports. Unfortunally drkonqi on Windows is not ready yet to take this task (see bug 396893, 396915 and 396909). In the meantime the debug symbols are usable by 3rdparty tools like windbg or cdb (for msvc builds) and gdb (for gcc builds) to get valid back traces.

Forcing end users to compile a local copy of the related application for getting back traces looks not to be an efficient way.

With build 319 the debug symbol file package is empty. Will check again tomorrow. 

Does this work for mingw builds also out of the box ?

I'm asking because kmymoney uses msvc and mingw builds.

The build 319 was before the blacklist of pdbs was removed.

Since https://cgit.kde.org/craft.git/commit/?id=1361c1db20de316ac0f8177bce43903cd1e01782

we should have sym files for gcc.

For mac we need to generate them and adjust the dmg packager to create a dbg artifact.

Can you enable mingw builds for umbrello too for inspecting ?
Comment 6 Hannah von Reth 2019-02-11 21:52:18 UTC 
319 was before the blacklist fix.
Gcc builds should have sym files, might be broken.
Umbrello depends on kdevelop which depends on webengine which isnt supported on mingw.
