Visual studio 2012 - locals have disappeared
debugging, visual-studio-2012
Solution
I've eventually managed to sort this out by myself - so I'll give my solution here in case anyone else has the same problem:
I found that in Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols was pointing to an old NuGet symbol server. Somehow a wrong symbol server looked like it was taking down the entire Locals and Immediate Window systems.
Updating the symbol server fixed my problems.
Problem
While debugging VS2012 I have found that I can no longer access variable values: - The Locals window does not show anything (pictured below). - The Watch window tells me "Unable to evaluate the expression" for any expression (also pictured below). My personal favourite is that it cannot evaluate `true`. - And mousing-over any variable does not show any values tool-tip. What I've tried: Restarting Visual Studio Restarting my computer Checking that the loaded modules shows debug symbols are loaded Uninstalling the TeamCity plugin that I installed yesterday Looking under Tools/Options/Debugging for anything obvious (and disabling other extensions that had been working fine) EDIT: I've also tried creating a new solution. I've also noticed that the call stack shows several blank lines where I presume there are supposed to be external method names (pictured above) - I'm not sure if this is relevant, but it is worth mentioning.
