Hello,
I landed some patches yesterday[1] that have now merged to m-c to allow
uploading symbols from try builds to the symbol server. Previously if you
wanted to debug a try server build it involved a bunch of annoying manual
steps, but now you can simply ask for symbol upload tasks to run and then use
the symbol server almost exactly like you would with a nightly or release build.
Symbol upload isn't enabled by default (since I expect most people are unlikely
to need it), but there are two ways to enable it:
1) Run `mach try fuzzy --full` and select the `${build}-upload-symbols` tasks
that correspond to the builds you're requesting. These tasks won't show up
without `--full`, FYI.
2) After pushing to try, use Treeherder's "Add new jobs" tool (available from
the menu under the little triangle on the top right) and add the `Sym` jobs
corresponding to the builds you requested.
To debug the resulting build you will need to use a slightly different URL for
the symbol server: https://symbols.mozilla.org/try . You can otherwise follow
the symbol server instructions[2]. Try symbols are stored separately from
builds we ship to avoid any contamination as well as to have a shorter
retention period (28 days, matching the Taskcluster artifact expiration for
try). This won't currently work with my GDB symbol server script[3] because it
has a hardcoded symbol server URL, but you can of course edit the script to fix
that.
I'll update the symbol server docs soon.
