Disable Code Analysis output MSBuild

Question

I am building projects using a build definition. When this executes, Code Analysis is also performed. Code Analysis outputs various files including:

ConsoleApplication2.exe.CodeAnalysisLog.xml
ConsoleApplication2.exe.lastcodeanalysissucceeded

Is there any way to disable this output from happing in my build definition, say through parameters or something similar?

Answer 1

Generation of the success marker file can be disabled using the CodeAnalysisGenerateSuccessFile option. e.g.:

<CodeAnalysisGenerateSuccessFile>false</CodeAnalysisGenerateSuccessFile>

There's no option for preventing generation of the log file, but you can move it to some other location via the CodeAnalysisLogFile option. For example, to place it in your project root folder, you could use the following:

<CodeAnalysisLogFile>CodeAnalysisLog.xml</CodeAnalysisLogFile>
