About This Project

This project contains source code analysis and cleanup rules for xUnit.net. Analysis and fixes are only supported with C#.

Requirements: xUnit.net v2 or v3. Supported in Visual Studio 2019 16.11+ or 2022 17.4+ (as well as via command line builds with Roslyn 3.11+). Other environments (such as Mono or JetBrains Rider) may be able to use these analyzers as well; support and issue resolution will be provided by those third parties and not by xUnit.net itself.

Documentation: a list of supported rules is available at https://xunit.net/xunit.analyzers/rules/

Bugs and issues: please visit the core xUnit.net project issue tracker.

Building: see BUILDING.md.
