How to configure Visual Studio not to analyse code in a specific file

Is it possible to tell Visual Studio to not analyze a specific file? In this case, GlobalSuppressions.cs. I can't find any setting for it in options.

I'm also trying to avoid messing up my code with suppress statements, so I want to keep GlobalSuppressions.cs, but not analyze it.

Solution

You can add the following to your root level .editorconfig file:

[yourfile.cs]
# Disable analyzers for a specific file
dotnet_diagnostic.CAxxxx.severity = none

CAxxxx should be replaced with a specific code analyzer rule you want to disable. In your case set it to none for disabling all analyzers on the file.

Hope this helps!
