Description
VS 2017 (15.5.0):
There is an error I actually keep doing (my bad) when using the object initializer syntax that is ending the line with a semicolon instead of a comma, e.g.:
return new OperationResponse
{
SomeProperty= SomeValue,
AnotherProperty = AnotherValue;
};
please note the semicolon at the end of line AnotherProperty = AnotherValue;. While this is syntax mistake, looks like roslyn is getting confused (a lot actually) with this type of error and put a lot of squiggles under various csharp constructs and starts suggesting wrong things, e.g.
try
{
return new OperationResponse
{
SomeProperty= SomeValue,
AnotherProperty = AnotherValue;
};
}
catch (Exception ex) {}
in this case it puts a red squiggle under the curly brace that closes the try statements, and the popup related to the squiggle is something like: the following
that is a bit misleading.
While this is definitely a cosmetic issue (IMO), I think it would be very cool if roslyn could better handle these type of syntax error, pointing you to the error instead of giving a misleading message.
