3.0 - C Profile has no symbols (symbols.db is missing)

SDK Bug Reports
1

Hi,

I recently upgraded to the 3.0 SDK on my Mac. When I go to profile my C (rust) based game by clicking the profile button in the simulator and then choosing “Device - C” and clicking “Sample”, I get the following error message:

Database Error

The symbols database could not be opened.

If the problem persists, please reinstall the Simulator and try again.

And, indeed, the file appears to not be where it is in earlier SDK versions (eg I have one at PlaydateSDK-2.7.6/bin/Playdate Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/symbols.db but not in the same path for the 3.0 SDK). I tried deleting the SDK directory and re-installing without any change.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response and fix!

I’d like to add that the response is similar in Lua, I mean it seems to be able to be reproduced by choosing Device - Lua as well. Hopefully the fix for C on the device, also fixes the sampler for Lua on device.

For posterity, this is fixed in 3.0.1.
