Breakpoints not hit in specflow

Question

I'm writing a test case using SpecFlow in C#. When I set appropriate breakpoints and run the test cases using debugger, all the breakpoints are not hit. When I hover over them, a tip displaying "The breakpoint will not be hit. No symbols have been loaded for the document" is shown. Now, how do I debug the testcases that I have written?

PS: I'm using VS2015

it may skipped due to condition checking and the block where you put break point may not execute based on the checking. try to put break point on form load and check. — Siby Sunny, Mar 02 '17 at 06:45
Where did you put the breakpoints? In a binding or the feature file? Which unit test provider do you have configured? — Andreas Willich, Mar 02 '17 at 08:14
Both in feature and binding files. Doesn't work for both. I have used NUnit — Prasann, Mar 02 '17 at 08:21
is the system you are testing running in the same process as the tests, or are you testing a deployed application/web site? — Sam Holder, Mar 02 '17 at 11:26
and are the breakpoints in the code for the deployed website or in the tests? — Sam Holder, Mar 02 '17 at 12:03

I solved my problem by going to Debug->Options and disabled "Just my Code" option. Then I navigated to symbols and checked "Microsoft Symbol Servers"
