How do I disable all Roslyn Code Analyzers?

Question

I\'m trying to work with a large opensource project that has a handful of Roslyn Code Analyzers. When I open the solution Visual Studio uses ~35% CPU for about 15 minutes. U

Answer 1

It is possible to reference a ruleset file located in the parent folder

<Project ...>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
    <CodeAnalysisRuleSet>..\Example.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>

This way you could define one ruleset for the entire solution.

Answer 2

Try Tools/Options/Text Editor/C#/Advanced and disable full solution analysis. It's only available since VS2015 Update 2.

Answer 3

You can disable analyzers on a per-project basis.

To do it, right click on Project>References>Analyzers in the Solution Explorer and hit Open Active Rule Set

You can disable individual analyzers or entire bundles of analyzers.

This creates a <ProjectName>.ruleset file and modifies the <ProjectName>.csproj, which means that you will share this configuration with your team unless you exclude these changes from source control.

Note: Changes are applied after you close and re-open the solution.

Changes to the .csproj:

<Project ...>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
    <CodeAnalysisRuleSet>Example.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>

Example.ruleset file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RuleSet Name="Rules for WpfApplication1" Description="Code analysis rules for WpfApplication1.csproj." ToolsVersion="14.0">
  <Rules AnalyzerId="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp" RuleNamespace="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp">
    <Rule Id="AD0001" Action="None" />
    <Rule Id="CS0028" Action="None" />
...

Answer 4

For Visual studio 2019,

Click Tools > Options

Options > Text Editor > Advanced >

Uncheck "Use 64-bit process for code analysis"

You need to restart VS for this to take effect

Answer 5

Try a combo of the following in your csproj or Directory.Build.props files

<RunAnalyzersDuringBuild>false</RunAnalyzersDuringBuild>
<RunAnalyzersDuringLiveAnalysis>false</RunAnalyzersDuringLiveAnalysis>
<RunAnalyzers>false</RunAnalyzers>
