Use of GlobalSuppressions.cs i StyleCop Runner in Azure Pipeline












0















I have a c# solution that adhere to our custom StyleCop rules as specified in stylecop.json and GlobalSuppresions.cs. Both are located in the solution root and linked each project via their .csproj files.



I have an Azure DevOps pipeline set up to build the entire solution and also run StyleCop on it using the runner. However, although our stylecop.json settings are respected by the runner, the GlobalSuppresions.cs ones aren't. In the runner there is an option to specify a path for a settings file, but none for GlobalSuppresions.cs.



The question is: Is there a way to make the runner understand GlobalSuppressions.cs? Or is there a way to merge our rules into stylecop.json?

          So... since I wrote the questions I've learned a couple of things.



          In newer versions of Visual Studio the "Roslyn Analyzers" are supposed to be used. While the stylecop analyzers nuget package adhere to GlobalSuppressions.cs, and automatically create such files when requested via code fixes, that is not the recommended approach. Instead rulesets should be used. Rulesets are different from stylecop settings files which come in a new and old version. The new version is the .json one.



          Rulesets are understood by the compiler directly, so there is no longer a need for the Azure DevOps build task that we were using. I simply created a ruleset that matched what we had in GlobalSuppressions.cs and started using that for development. For our release configuration, which is what we use on Azure DevOps I created a copy of the ruleset, but with all the rules we use set to Error rather than Warning.
