HI!

When I want to read the source code of .net core, I click Go to Declaration button and on the Windows edition, I get the decompile code by the local .dll file, but I do the same behavior on the macOS edition, Look likes I get the real source code from Internet and this edition can get comment is very useful for me. So I wonder know how to change the default behavior for Windows edition to get real source code?

Hi Zwyliufeng! 

It seems like you don't have available symbol files on Mac. Could you please try to disable `File | Settings | Tools | External Symbols | Use sources from symbol files when available` option on windows and check if this helps? 

Thank you.

Hi Zwyliufeng, 

You're right, sorry. There might be several reasons for this problem:

  • Symbol servers that Rider uses are different on your macOS and Windows machines
  • or, perhaps, assemblies or PDBs are different for Windows and macOS edition. 
  • also, there are no sources or PDB for macOS edition. 

We could check it if you need that. For this, please, collect Rider logs after reproducing the issue via Help | Compress logs; and then attach them to the new support request (Help | Contact Support). 

Thanks!
