Linting Using Resharper

This is a sample Unity Project demonstrating linting with a GitHub action using resharper inspect code. For linting tool, resharper's Inspect Code is used. It uses a .dotSettings file in source for validating the rules, more can be found out about this here.

Prerequisite

• .sln and .csproj files should be present in the source.

GitHub Action Steps

• .Net is installed.
• Resharper Global tools are installed.
• Code checkout.
• InspectCode is called.
• Check for any errors.
• Logfile is uploaded as an Artifact.

Output

Issues

• There are unity specific errors like Cannot resolve symbol 'UnityEngine’, this is due to Unity not being installed on Github hosted machine for the action.

Mitigation

• A self hosted runner could be used.
• On this server unity can be installed, which will remove all unity errors. If it still not works try this workaround for unity support.
• Also dotnet, resharper global tools, can be installed on server.
• This way we can remove the steps for installing dotnet and resharper.
