VS2017 running debug selected tests does not open the debugger
I have Specflow/Nunit tests that used to debug fine last Friday (16-Nov-2018). The debugger suddenly stopped yesterday (20-Nov-2018) without me changing anything.
Steps:
1. Select any test on the Test Explorer window
2. Right click the test and select "Debug Selected Tests"
After this, the debugger should start and it should stop at the breakpoint but it doesn't. Instead I get an output relating to testhost.x86.exe and being unable to find PDB files (please find attached).
I have already tried the following:
1. Update to the latest version 15.9.2
2. Uninstall and reinstall VS2017 Professional (done twice already)
3. Add the system variable __UNITTESTEXPLORER_VSINSTALLPATH__
4. Disable Just My Code in Tools > Options > Debugging > General
5. Tick Microsoft Symbol Servers in Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols
I have no idea what is going on and I have not changed anything yesterday or Monday. Please help.
Here are some of the messages from the output:
'testhost.x86.exe' (CLR v4.0.30319: domain-e649a6ea-Test.API.dll): Loaded 'D:ReposTestTest.APIbinDebugRestSharp.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
