Improvements for build breaking

This version adds additional overloads to the build breaking aliases to support passing in an action which is called before the build is failed.

The following example fails the build if issues with severity warning or higher are found, ignoring MsBuild issues. In case of the build failing the number of issues is printed:

BreakBuildOnIssues(
    issues,
    new BuildBreakingSettings
    {
        MinimumPriority = IssuePriority.Warning
        IssueProvidersToIgnore = [MsBuildIssuesProviderTypeName]
    },
    x => Error(
      "{0} issues with severity warning or higher are found",
      x.Count()));

context.BreakBuildOnIssues(
    issues,
    new BuildBreakingSettings
    {
        MinimumPriority = IssuePriority.Warning
        IssueProvidersToIgnore = [context.MsBuildIssuesProviderTypeName()]
    },
    x => context.Error(
      "{0} issues with severity warning or higher are found",
      x.Count()));

Improvements for MsBuild issue provider

Improvements have been made for providing rule URLs for issues reported by the MsBuild issue provider:

  • For NET SDK analyzers code style rules (IDE*) URLs will be provided.
  • .NET SDK analyzers code quality rules (CA*) will link directly to the rule page instead of starting a Google search

There is also a new example for using custom URL resolver.

Improvements for SARIF issue provider

The SARIF issue provider has been improved to also support files which use absolute paths for results.

Improvements for Test Anything Protocol issue provider

Rule URL resolving has been implemented in the Test Anything Provider for the following log formats:

Starting with this version there also new aliases for providing custom URL resolvers to support plugins or custom rules.

Documentation updates

There is a new page describing the process to report issues to build servers and pull requests, including the available customization options.
