GlobalAnalyzerConfig broke with potential ordering change in .net 9 and no documentation tells you how to fix it

[EdLichtman]

Describe the bug

If you have a Directory.Build.targets, and you import a .globalconfig file, it no longer works. It did before NET9

To Reproduce

GlobalAnalyzerConfigBug.zip

Unzip and try to build that.

Exceptions (if any)

None. I get no exceptions when building this. That right there is the problem. I should be told that TestClass fails to build "BugTarget" because it's using File-Scoped names when the globalconfig requires that it has Block config.

@arunchndr @jaredpar change in the analyzers or change on our side caused this?

[arunchndr]

Possible change in build sequence. As a workaround and to rule out another possibility, can we try explicitly referencing the global config in the project file, just so we know there isn't definition conflict issue?

<ItemGroup>
  <AdditionalFiles Include="path\to\.globalconfig" />
</ItemGroup>

@EdLichtman fyi.

[arunchndr]

I dont have a repro for this on 9.0.100 btw. I get the BugTarget and TestClass failures while building. On a mac myself.

@EdLichtman https://github.com/jaredpar/complog?tab=readme-ov-file#creating-compiler-logs would be helpful.

[EdLichtman]

Oh I missed these followups! I'll produce an example probably Monday or Tuesday. I was able to do a workaround temporarily. I don't recall how but I'll add that workaround next week too. At least one workaround was manually adding <EditorConfigFiles> I think but I poured against that because it felt like the contract could change at any given time since that's an item group that's undocumented

Oh, now I remember the workaround!

Basically, I just made sure that I imported it in the Directory.Build.props. An easy fix for sure, so there is no issue there.

The problem is however, I didn't know that it broke, or why it broke.

Also, I think you may be unable to reproduce because I think I accidentally provided an zip that wasn't exactly correct. I've modified it and added a binlog for you to observe:

Sample.zip

You'll notice I import the props in the targets file:

You'll also notice that the GenerateDocumentationFile is set to true in the props that's being propagated to the targets file:

You'll then see that I added GenerateDocumentationFile to the BugTarget.csproj:

This is because, even though I am importing the Props via the Targets file, I get a build error telling me that it's missing:

Then, you'll see that I require file_scoped:

And that I have file_scoped

But I get an error because I'm supposed to use block_scoped:

We haven't heard further reports about this. If you continue to see issues with either .NET 9 or .NET 10, let us know by responding/reopening/creating a new issue. Thanks!
