I've installed Stylecop via NuGet. I wish to disable some rules, and I know this can be done via a configuration file from what I've read. However, I can't find the file anywhere, and there seems to be little documentation describing where to create the file.
How do I go about making the file?
Edit: As this question still seems to be getting attention a couple of years later, I recommend using Roslyn Analyzer based StyleCop now.
This has a few advantages:
.ruleset
file for you, and as a result of using Roslyn Analyzers you get IDE support for enabling/disabling rules.If you installed Stylecop via NuGet (the StyleCop.MSBuild package), then you will not have the folder detailed in the other answers.
You will find the file in your project folder here:
packages\StyleCop.MSBuild.{version}\tools\Settings.StyleCop
You should copy this file to the root of your project.
If you would rather not manually edit the file, there is also a nice gui tool called StyleCopSettingsEditor in the tools folder, which you can just drag your settings file onto.
If you copy the Settings.StyleCop
file to the root of the solution, then it will be inherited by all projects. This means it can be kept in Source Control and accessed by any Continuous Integration server you are using.
If you reference and alter the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\StyleCop {{version}}\Settings.StyleCop
this needs to be kept inline on each developer's PC. where as copying it to the root of the solution
The file Settings.StyleCop
should be located in your install directory, on my machine it's here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\StyleCop 4.7\Settings.StyleCop
You can edit the rule settings by opening this file with StyleCopSettingsEditor.exe
, located in the same directory (double-clicking the settings file will do the trick).
