Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers

• Overview of .NET source code analysis
• .csproj related properties

It looks like that adding <AnalysisMode>All</AnalysisMode> is not enough to get the analyzer to report all diagnostics as warnings. The best way I found was to add <AnalysisLevel>6-all</AnalysisLevel> (oddly, 7-all did not work; it looks like on my Macbook I am missing the editorconfig files for 7.0 - see /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.100/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/analyzers/build/config/)
