Building Fantomas in Visual Studio for dev errors

[cgravill]

I'm getting an error while trying to build this project:

I suspect it to be related to this ionide/KeepAChangelog#8

I'm able to workaround the issue locally by commenting out Ionide.KeepAChangelog in a couple of paket.references files then rebuilding. I'm not sure if there's a better workaround.

I do not get the error when building on the command line with FAKE.

Yes, @josh-degraw got that error recently.
A snippet from our Discord conversation:

[cgravill]

Yes, exactly that.

[baronfel]

The tracking issue for this in Ionide.KeepAChangelog is ionide/KeepAChangelog#8

We should add a note for this someday in the contributions section at https://fsprojects.github.io/fantomas/docs/contributors/Index.html
