Roslyn - Packaging your analyzer




Update :
If you find yourself doing this, you are probably not using Extensibility template (Analyzer + VSix solution). In that case, please take some time before you go down this "rabbit hole".




There are 2 ways you can package your anaylzer as nuget package. I am assuming you are trying to deploy this as .Net standard. I specifically target Net 1.3 standard.

Analyzers are packaged differently, as we are required to place it under, \analyzer\dotnet\cs folder. 


1. csproj - you need to add this in your solution file.

(Notice i change my packagePath="" = empty string, if you deploy to .netcore project, it is all good. If you try to deploy to .net framework, you might not be able to install it.



     


And not forgetting - this basically omit generation of dll. If you don't do this, your analyzer will be installed as any dll package instead of anaylzer.



2. nuget (will cover this later, till then try reading it from https://roslyn-analyzers.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nuget-packages.html

The specified initialization vector (IV) does not match the block size for this algorithm

If you're getting  exception when trying to assigned key to a symmetric key and getting error message below :- The specified initialization vector (IV) does not match the block size for this algorithm And your code probably look like something below :- Then you need to go into debug mode and start looking into the supported size for IV as shown in diagram below :- As you can see, IV is 16 bytes, so you need to provide 16 bytes. The same goes for Key field too, if you're adding anything to it. As long as you provide a valid key size, then we're good and you're code will be ready.
