Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis 8.8.0

Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis

A curated set of code analyzers and code analyzer settings.

Install the package

From the command-line:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis

Or directly in the C# project file:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis" Version="[CURRENTVERSION]" >
    <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
  </PackageReference>
</ItemGroup>

Usage Example

On install, a warning will be displayed that The StaticAnalysisCodeType property is not defined, assuming 'General'. The General set of diagnostics is enabled by default. To select a different set of diagnostics (or hide the warning) add the StaticAnalysisCodeType property to your project as follows.

  <PropertyGroup>
    <StaticAnalysisCodeType>General</StaticAnalysisCodeType>
  </PropertyGroup>

Available Sets Of Diagnostics

Different pre-defined sets of diagnostics are available depending on the type of project being built. These can be specified in the StaticAnalysisCodeType property:

• Benchmark: Projects used for benchmarking.
• General: Any type of project.
• NonProdExe: Projects that produce an exe for non-production use.
• NonProdLib: Projects that produce a library (dll) for non-production use.
• ProdExe: Projects that produce an exe for production use.
• ProdLib: Projects that produce a library (dll) for production use.
• Test: Projects used for testing.

Each of these also has an optional -Tier1 and a -Tier2 variant (e.g. General-Tier1).

• Tier1 enables only the most important diagnostics from this set.
• Tier2 includes Tier1 diagnostics and others that aren't as critical.
• The names without Tier suffixes include all diagnostics from tier's 1 and 2, and any others that are applicable.
