Using refactoring rules in a ruleset

[olivernybroe]

Product and Version Used: Roslynator.Analyzers, Roslynator.Formatting.Analyzers,: 4.3.0

Steps to Reproduce:
Add a small program like so

// My comment
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Add RR0086 | Remove all comments rule to ruleset
RR0086 Remove all comments

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RuleSet Name="Custom" ToolsVersion="15.0">
    <Rules AnalyzerId="Roslynator.CSharp.Analyzers" RuleNamespace="Roslynator.CSharp.Analyzers">
        <Rule Id="RR0086" Action="Error"/>
    </Rules>
</RuleSet>

Run format command

Actual Behavior:

// My comment
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Expected Behavior:

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Additional information

Thank you for the project! Sorry if this might just be my ignorance, but I am trying to multiple of the refactoring rules to automatically apply when running the formatting command, however it seems like I cannot get it to work.

When using the analyzer rules it works perfectly. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not supported to do refactoring rules in the ruleset?

Oh whoops... Did not see discussions were enabled, feel free to convert it to a discussion instead as it's prob. more appropriate there.

Hi,

Unlike analyzers the refactorings cannot be configured through ruleset. Generally speaking, they cannot be configured at all.

Luckily, it is possible to enable/disable Roslynator refactorings using EditorConfig files.

Please see https://github.com/JosefPihrt/Roslynator/blob/main/docs/Configuration.md for further details.

Ah alright 👀 Can they still be run automatically on the whole codebase? (not a common scenario, I know)

[josefpihrt]

Unfortunately not, refactoring can be considered as a one-time operation invoked at the given location.
