ELMAH is not logging offending code line number - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am using ELMAH's default configuration that was setup by NuGet pacakge manager. However, ELMAH does not provide any information about the line number of the offending code in my project. Instead, it provides stack trace of all the DotNet Framework assembly that is not written by me. This is not helpful at all. Here is a message that was generated by ELMAH. I remember that previous version of ELMAH provides the offending line number. Am I not setting it up correctly? If yes, how to configure it so that it log more about my code instead of DotNetFramework assembly code. Thanks.

Answer 1

I was having the same problem. It turns out that my Package/Publish Web settings in Properties had Exclude generated debug symbols checked for Release configuration
More details on this here

Answer 2

Looks like you need to include the debug symbols in your output. Also you can make sure the .pdb files are with the ELMAH dlls
You can set your project to use the debug symbols on the project properties

Answer 3

I had this as well, turning off pre-compilation made the line numbers appear
