Is there a way to view the SourceLink data in a PDB file in order to validate that SourceLink is working?

Question

I created a targets file to enable SourceLink. When running the build, I was able to validate that the source_link.json files were being generated.

However, when I try to check the PDB with srctool.exe [PDB file path], it says the file is not source indexed.

Because SourceLink appears to be a newer process, I'm not sure if srctool.exe is compatible with it or not.

Is there any easy way to "break open" a PDB file and verify that the SourceLink information exists?

Please add more hashtags to let more relevant folks reach to your question. Some more general hashtags like the main framework, language or toolkit used. — msd.salehi, Sep 25 '21 at 19:21

You can use the free tool dotpeek to see the content of the PDB via Tools->Show PDB content:

When you scroll to the end, you see the SourceLink entry if it was added:
