Auto-Fix

Dustin Norman — Fri, 23 May 2008 19:02:20 GMT

Unlike FxCop, it would be trivial for tool to actually fix the many violations it detects. For example:

Invalid spacing around the closing parenthesis.

Tabs are not allowed. Use spaces instead.

As someone who just ran this tool on a rather small assembly, I'm kind of overwhelmed at the idea of fixing 561 violations manually when the tool could fix them for me automatically without affecting the semantics of the code.

Has any thought been given to adding support for this?

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

steve — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:23:06 GMT

it might be nice for examples. like the file has no header the header xml is invalid or the header is not located at the top of the file. i guess for punter's like me who don't know what headers look like it makes it a little difficult to add one.

Bo Lund — Fri, 23 May 2008 21:38:44 GMT

Yes we are contemplating adding auto fixing for a future release.

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Granville Barnett — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:24:43 GMT

I just ran this on a fairly large project and share the sentiments of Dustin.

Some of this stuff could very well be done by the tool - adding a blank line after the closing brace etc.

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

superjason — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:32:07 GMT

Is there documentation for what it checks, or at least a document I can reference with the rules?

Most coding standards I have seen disagree with the rules. For example, using spaces instead of tabs. Tabs can be resized for preference, spaces cannot.

Benoit Martin — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:55:31 GMT

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Monty Evans — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:09:26 GMT

Great Tool!! I'd like to see my shop use something like this.

Would like to see a document on what the rule are though. I get "the spacing around the keywork 'using' is invalid"... not sure what the rule is for this. (For this matter though why doesn't the IDE add these spaces?)

Also would like to see the tool be able to fix some of these types of things.

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Brennan Stehling — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:23:44 GMT

I would find it very helpful if it was configurable. I work for various clients and each has their own coding standards and conventions that they dictate to me and the development team here. It would be great to associate a project with a customized set of rules that vary from the standard so that I can deliver the code in the way the client expects and wants.

Beyond that, any open source work I do in C# would conform to the strict standard. Another one I have used it Code Style Enforcer which does allow you to customize the rules.

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Nick Berardi — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:36:47 GMT

Are you kidding me. Tabs are not allowed. Use spaces instead. This is a horrible idea, because it throws blocking layout off, if one variable uses 3 spaces and the other uses 4. This there anyway to disable some of the more pointless rules like this tab one.

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

nberardi — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:44:53 GMT

It would be nice if you were able to disable some of these rules. I know you said they are for the best. But I totally disagree with this tab over spaces. There is no logical reason for it. Except some holy war that has been battled out between developers since Vi first came to market. I would love to run this over my source code, but it blows up because it alerts me about every line that has a tab in it.

Daniel Stolt — Sat, 24 May 2008 01:12:45 GMT

This is a very welcome addition to the set of tools available for .NET developers - but why only for C#? Enforcement of code formatting rules is just as sorely needed for VB developers!

Admittedly, the VB code editor has some rudimentary support for automatic formatting when it comes to indentation and spacing around keywords and symbols, but nothing that even comes close to what StyleCop supports.

By the way, I totally agree with "nberardi" on the tabs vs. spaces issue: what is the problem with tabs? Is it somehow an advantage to have to press the arrow key 4-5 times more to get to a given point? Is it somehow an advantage to have to store 4-5 times as many whitespace characters in a source file?

I don't want to get into a flame war about spaces v.s. tabs in general, but the purpose of Source Analysis is consistency across you organization. I would say that spaces offered the only way to make the code look the same on all screens, which is important for peer programming for instance.

Disclosure: I am pro-space and anti-tab because I use a lot of TSV data and need to set my tab stops to be very high. This is just my opinion - don't flame me bro!

Very neat tool. I think the XML comment enforcement is probably the best part (being the lazy bastard that I am).

I did find what I think is a syntax false-positive. This fails:

if (blah as SomeStruct? == whatever)

but this seems OK:

if ((blah as SomeStruct?) == whatever)

It's hard to tell if that fixes it though because my list doesn't seem to shrink below 1000. :)

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

John Melville — Sat, 24 May 2008 15:57:13 GMT

For the people who want it to be more configurable -- the lack of configuration is the big point. This is an internal tool that they released because it is useful, not a product they sell. The, obvious, initial purpose is to make all microsoft code look like microsoft code. Configurability would have defeated it purpose.

Now if microsoft sends you a paycheck every other week, then they have the right to tell you what your code will look like -- by any means they choose. If they don't, then code however you like, and don't use the free tool if you don't like it.

Think of this as a gift from devdiv. If you want to live by the rules of the castle, enjoy the consistency it provides. If you don't, please don't scorn microsoft for allowing us to use their internal tools for free without buffing them to consumer quality.

Source Analysis for VB.NET

Andy Maggs — Sat, 24 May 2008 16:23:23 GMT

For the VB'ers out there, you can always try VS Law which does much the same as StyleCop but unlike StyleCop is fully configurable (you can switch rules off an on, you can even create your own). At the moment it is not free, but as the authors (I am one) no longer have the time to keep up it up to date with the language developments Microsoft are releasing, we are considering making it open source. Is this of interest to anyone?

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Bo Lund — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:01:10 GMT

To all the people who desires more configuration option I would like to point out that the tool already supports this:

Right click on the project node in the solution explorer and choose the menu item "Source Analysis Settings". There you can customize which rules to run.

"...when run on a Windows Application project, it complains about how the Form designer files are laid out. Now - those files are generated automatically. Why am I supposed to go in and edit the layout in them?"

There is a difference between auto-generated code that will later be overwritten again by a tool, and auto-generated code that will never again be overwritten. In the Forms case, the code is originally created for you by a tool, but after that you own the code and it's up to you to maintain it. There is a special region at the bottom of that file containing the code that can actually be overwritten again by the tool, and StyleCop will ignore that part of the code.

First Feedback

Roman Hnatiuk — Mon, 26 May 2008 00:43:18 GMT

I will need more time to go through the tool (just downloaded it), but already can see few little issues:

1. Violation SA1027 (Tabs are not allowed. Use spaces instead) is definitely not making any sense. Tabs have many advantages compared to spaces, but the most important one is that each team member can set tab's width according to his personal preference (I prefer 3, someone else - 4, 2, or even 8!), and there is no need for "religious wars" because of this non-issue.

2. Source Analisys tab (the one listing violations) should have numbered lines - it is very difficult to navigate in the list if it has more items.

3. As some people already mentioned above, the tool has very limited applicability if the user has to fix violations manually. Some kind of automatic fixing (e.g. via context menu in the Source Analisys tab) is absolutely must. Otherwise "fixing" existing codebase is really not an option - in simple (25 lines of not that bad code!) file the tool found 28 "violations" (from which 16 were "tabs").

re: Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Dragan Panjkov — Mon, 26 May 2008 10:07:19 GMT

I think it is an excellent idea, and I found some constraints very helpful. The tool itself is configurable in its basic form, but it would be nice if the toll somehow could copy settings from VS. For example, I personally prefer opening braces in same line as method or class declaration, and tool should read already set settings in VS editor options.

Keep up with good work!

Might be a great tool. It would be better if you hadn't made it so 'tightly coupled' to C#.

Couldn't you have just wrote a core engine and then allowed each language team to write an add-in to make it work for other languages, along with a best practice ruleset for each language which could be altered as needed by individual shops using the tool in order to fit with their internal coding standards(which may not always match Microsoft's)?

Need an option to ommit certain rules

Søren Lindstrøm — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:28:26 GMT

Great idea, however, it is absolutly nessessary that youu build in an option to ommit rules that do not apply to your code. I.e.

In my company we are 100% agile, thus our unittests are our documentation. We do not want 1000 errors just because we havn't written 1.000.000 lines of code comments.

Second, some of the formatting rules are in conflict with production-enhancing tools like resharper (i.e. where using statements should be). As much as i like the MSCop-idea, I would NEVER trade my resharper for MSCop.
