Phase 1.1: Configure Code Style and Analysis Rules #2

@artcava

Description

@artcava

📋 Overview

Configure .editorconfig and code analysis rules to enforce consistent coding standards across the entire solution.

🎯 Objectives

  • Implement coding conventions from CODING-CONVENTIONS.md
  • Configure IDE settings for consistent formatting
  • Enable static code analysis
  • Ensure build-time enforcement

📦 Deliverables

1. Create .editorconfig

Create .editorconfig in solution root with the following configuration:

# EditorConfig is awesome: https://EditorConfig.org

# top-most EditorConfig file
root = true

# All files
[*]
charset = utf-8
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = space

# Code files
[*.{cs,csx,vb,vbx}]
indent_size = 4

# JSON files
[*.json]
indent_size = 2

# YAML files
[*.{yml,yaml}]
indent_size = 2

# Markdown files
[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

# C# files
[*.cs]

#### Code Analysis ####

# CA1062: Validate arguments of public methods

dotnet_diagnostic.CA1848.severity = suggestion

# CA2007: Do not directly await a Task
dotnet_diagnostic.CA2007.severity = none

2. Update Directory.Build.props

Ensure Directory.Build.props includes:

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <TreatWarningsAsErrors>true</TreatWarningsAsErrors>
    <EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>true</EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>
    <EnableNETAnalyzers>true</EnableNETAnalyzers>
    <AnalysisLevel>latest</AnalysisLevel>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

3. Verify Code Style Enforcement

Run the following commands to verify:

# Check for code style violations
dotnet format --verify-no-changes

# Fix code style issues automatically
dotnet format

# Build with warnings as errors
dotnet build /warnaserror

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • .editorconfig file exists in solution root
  • All coding conventions from CODING-CONVENTIONS.md are reflected
  • dotnet format --verify-no-changes passes without errors
  • dotnet build /warnaserror succeeds
  • IDE respects formatting rules (Visual Studio / Rider / VS Code)
