SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

C# code issues often block progress; this workflow surfaces errors and warnings via the VS Code language server task without a full compilation, speeding fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • C# diagnostics via language server: identify errors and warnings directly from the editor workflow.
  • Task-driven workflow: integrates with the 'Check Changed Files' task to validate changes.
  • Use Case: when a developer mentions a C# error or compilation issue, apply the checker to locate and address issues quickly.

Quick Start

Trigger the 'Check Changed Files' workflow and inspect the csharp-diagnostics report to start addressing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about checking-csharp-errors

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check C# errors without building the project?▼

C# diagnostics without building are retrieved by running the 'Check Changed Files' task, which uses the VS Code language server to report errors and warnings from the editor workflow.

What is the best way to diagnose C# compilation issues during an editor session?▼

Diagnosing C# compilation issues during an editor session is best handled by applying a language server task to locate errors and warnings quickly, rather than triggering a full project build.

How do I get C# diagnostics using the language server in VS Code?▼

Get C# diagnostics by triggering the 'Check Changed Files' task, waiting for the csharp-diagnostics-report.tmp signal, and reading the generated report from the workspace root for errors and warnings.

Does static analysis work for C# without compiling the dotnet project?▼

Yes, static analysis works for C# without compiling by leveraging the VS Code language server task to identify code quality issues and warnings directly during editor sessions without a dotnet build.

Why do I need to wait for a diagnostics report signal before checking C# warnings?▼

Waiting for the csharp-diagnostics-report.tmp signal is required because the language server needs time to analyze the workspace; reading the report before this signal appears results in incomplete error data.
