I've created two analyzers:

  • first which reports usage of Thread.Sleep() inside of asynchronous code (i.e. asynchronous methods, asynchronous anonymous functions or asynchronous anonymous methods).
  • second which reports usage of Thread.Sleep() anywhere
    Analyzers have a common code fix which fixes occurrences of Thread.Sleep() in async code. If Thread.Sleep is used in non async code, there's no obvious automatic fix for the code, so no codefix is proposed.

I've made a decision to treat "async void" code as asynchronous.

I think that the first analysis should be active by default.

I've updated version of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis in a separate commit - if I recall correctly, I needed some functionality from the newer version. I did not observe any regression.

I've also updated a version of Visual Studio in sln file in a separate commit. I guess that majority of people use the most recent version of VS2015 so I think that it's convenient to include that change in repo.

I don’t know whether contributors are listed somewhere. I added comments listing me as a contributor in my pull request, but feel free to remove them if you want.

I could probably use IMethodSymbol.IsAsync in this method.
Current approach is purely syntactic, so it should be faster (I don't know how much it matters).

What is the reason for having the same message for both here? How does VS render the backticks?

If there were two separate messages for code fixes, semantic model would had to be awaited when the code fix is registered which would degrade performance. Currently, semantic model is awaited only if a user applies code fix. I don't think that user experience will be much better if there are two separate message.

I can change the code to include two separate code fix messages if you do think that it's worth it.

Backticks are displayed literally in VS2015 Update 2.

I believe that either quotes or backticks should be used to quote code - IMHO it improves readability. I used backticks because I wanted to be consistent with the AvoidAsyncSuffixCodeFixProvider. On the other hand no quotation characters are used in UseConfigureAwaitCodeFixProvider.

No idea if it is worth it, just looked a bit strange with a roulette type code fix :)

var firstNodeWithCorrectSpan = root
.FindNode(diagnostic.Location.SourceSpan);
InvocationExpressionSyntax expression = firstNodeWithCorrectSpan
.DescendantNodesAndSelf()

I don't know Roslyn well enough to know if firstNodeWithCorrectSpan is always not null here.

I don't know Roslyn very well either, but I think that I can justify that expression and firstNodeWithCorrectSpan are not null.

  1. In DontUseThreadSleepAnalyzerBase, the SyntaxNodeAction is registered on SyntaxKind.InvocationExpression and reports analysis on InvocationExpression.Syntax's location
  2. I use diangnostic's location to assign value tofirstNodeWithCorrectSpan. firstNodeWithCorrectSpan is assigned using SyntaxNode.FindNode method which (by default) returns outermost node encompassing the given span (source: http://www.coderesx.com/roslyn/html/6497A5DA.htm).
  3. There must be a node of type InvocationExpressionSyntax among firstNodeWithCorrectSpan's descendant nodes because diagnostic was reported on using InvocationExpressionSyntax's location, so expression is not null.

It's been a while since I've created this PR. Do you have more feedback? I would like to make further contributions to this project, but I don't know if it's still maintained.

I've moved DontUseThreadSleep.md and DontUseThreadSleepInAsyncCode.md to a documentation folder and updated them slightly.
