Should auto-generated source files include "// <auto-generated>" so they are ignored by code analysis?

[JustinC-IADS]

I'm currently trying to enable code analysis on a dotnet Maui project, but when I do, I immediately get analysis hits from the CommunityToolkit generated code.

After some searching, I found the following discussion about auto-generated file being ignored.
dotnet/roslyn#36619

Is anyone else running into this? Is there another was to configure the analyzers to ignore these files?

Good suggestion!

@pictos - what do you think?

[pictos]

Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try

[JustinC-IADS]

Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies.

[pictos]

@JustinC-IADS are you able to create a small project that I can use as reference to fix it?

[JustinC-IADS]

Yes. I'm uploading it. Let me know if you prefer a different way to receive it.

Here's a screenshot of the code analysis options I have at the moment (and I have turned on TreatWarningsAsErrors in the .csproj)

CodeAnalysis_GeneratedCode_Sample.zip

Let me know if I can do anything else to help.

Code analysis is also complaining about other things from the default Maui project template, but this example should demonstrate the undesired analysis of the generated source files.

Thanks @JustinC-IADS I'll take a look on it ASAP

[VladislavAntonyuk]

@pictos if I am not mistaken you fixed it

[pictos]

Yes, it's just not released yet. Will be in the vNext.
