Fix MA0075 false positive on FormattableString.Invariant - #1322
Merged
Conversation
GetCultureSensitivity classifies any invocation that takes a FormattableString argument with the culture sensitivity of that argument, before checking anything else. FormattableString.Invariant formats its argument with CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, so the result is culture insensitive, but the invocation was reported as culture sensitive when used as an operand of a string concatenation. Add FormattableString.Invariant to the excluded methods, which are checked before the interpolated string argument. FormattableString.CurrentCulture is on the same type but is genuinely culture sensitive, so it keeps being reported. Fixes #1321

Fixes #1321
Problem
Since 3.0.150 (#1273), MA0075 reports
FormattableString.Invariant($"...")when the result is used directly as an operand of a string concatenation:Storing the result in a local first was already accepted, so the inline form should be too.
Cause
CultureSensitiveFormattingContext.GetCultureSensitivitycallsGetInterpolatedStringArgumentCultureSensitivityfor invocations, which treats any invocation with aFormattableString(or interpolated string handler) argument as producing the culture sensitivity of that argument, and returns before anything else is considered. ForInvariant($"abc{1:N0}")the argument is culture sensitive, so the whole invocation was classified as culture sensitive — even thoughInvariantexists precisely to format that argument withCultureInfo.InvariantCulture.Fix
Add
System.FormattableString.Invariant(System.FormattableString)toCreateExcludedMethods, which is consulted before the interpolated string argument path.I used the excluded-methods list rather than skipping every method whose containing type is
System.FormattableString, becauseFormattableString.CurrentCulturelives on the same type and is genuinely culture sensitive — it must keep being reported.FormattableString.ToString(IFormatProvider)andstring.Create(IFormatProvider, ...), also mentioned in the issue, were already covered by the existingHasArgumentOfType(FormatProviderSymbol)check, so they needed no change.Tests
FormattableString_Invariant_StringConcatcovers the four concatenation forms from the issue (left operand, right operand, both operands, parenthesized).FormattableString_CurrentCulture_StringConcatlocks in thatFormattableString.CurrentCultureis still reported.Verification
