AutoActions for Skinny controllers–small customizations

Logging Roslyn Code Generator:

For each program that you develop,it is important ( if not vital ) to see logging. In the Roslyn  Analyzer / Code Generators,the diagnostics are logged with DiagnosticDescriptor and Diagnostic – think that you should see in the output console when compiling and this will become clear.

More,the enum DiagnosticSeverity Enum (Microsoft.CodeAnalysis) | Microsoft Docs  can be seen as default for Warn and Info – but not for Info. Info can be seen only with

dotnet build -v diag

The code that I used is:

static Diagnostic DoDiagnostic(DiagnosticSeverity ds,string message)
         {
             //info  could be seen only with
             // dotnet build -v diag
             var dd = new DiagnosticDescriptor(“SkinnyControllersGenerator”,$”StartExecution”,$”{message}”,”SkinnyControllers”,ds,true);
             var d = Diagnostic.Create(dd,Location.Create(“skinnycontrollers.cs”,new TextSpan(1,2),new LinePositionSpan()));
             return d;
         }

And I called like this

string name = $”{ThisAssembly.Project.AssemblyName} {ThisAssembly.Info.Version}”;
context.ReportDiagnostic(DoDiagnostic(DiagnosticSeverity.Info,name));

( Yes,I used a Roslyn Code Generator – GitHub – kzu/ThisAssembly: Exposes project and assembly level information as constants in the ThisAssembly class using source generators powered by Roslyn. – inside another code generator – and no reference used on deploy – how cool is that ? )

Also,I use this to display some warnings when something is wrong,but I do not generate code. For example:

var ms = m as IMethodSymbol;
if (ms is null)
{
     context.ReportDiagnostic(DoDiagnostic(DiagnosticSeverity.Warning,$”{m.Name} is not a IMethodSymbol”));
     continue;

}

Intellisense for Code Generators:

This is something easy. First,I did not have intellisense. After reading,I discovered that I should put above the class declaration :

[GeneratedCode(“”{ThisAssembly.Info.Product}””,””{ThisAssembly.Info.Version}””)]
[CompilerGenerated]

( Yes,again code generator  – thanks,  KZU ! – to the rescue).

In this manner,if something wrong,I can see the version of the SkinnyControllersGenerator right away .
