  1. I would like to be able to easily remove all default NDepend keyboard shortcuts in VS

    I would like to be able to easily remove all default NDepend keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio.

    NDepend shortcuts seem to be all based on using the Alt key and set at the Global scope, to they regularly conflict with the keyboard shortcuts on tool windows in VS. An example of this is the Find in Files window - I cant hit Alt+A to click the Find All button because NDepend has globally mapped that to some element search tool that I dont need or want to use.

    There are many NDepend commands and its really tedious to unmap them…

  2. Ignore "Avoid having different types with same name" rule for extension classes

    For static classes that only contain extension methods for a particular type, often the class name is in the format of "[Type]Extensions". These classes are most often transparent to the consuming code, and so the reasoning behind the critical rule "Avoid having different types with same name" need not apply, and certainly should not be critical.

    "Such practice leads confusion and also naming collision in source files that use different types with same name."

  3. Remove storage of assembly names from NDepend project file

    When NDepend analysis is run for the first time, it adds a list of framework assemblies to the ndproj file, in the <FrameworkAssemblies> section. There doesn't appear to be a way to prevent this from happening. When managing ndproj files in source control, this could lead to additional updates to the ndproj file whenever references within the projects are added or removed. It would be ideal to have an option to prevent this from happening, with these assemblies always being assessed against the build.

  4. DebtSettings handling when SettingsFilePath is set

    When storing debt settings in an external .ndsettings file, the settings are still pulled in to the ndproj file when the first scan is run. There should be an option to prevent these settings from being copied into the ndproj file. When managing ndproj files using source control, this would lead to fewer changes since the when the external ndsettings file is changed, it would not impact the ndproj files referencing it.

  5. Update .NET Profile Directory Resolution

    When using a .NET Profile, the NuGet packages directory stored in the <Dirs> element of the project is fully resolved to include the username. This poses a problem when committing the ndproj file to source control since the project settings are specific to a developer machine. It would be better to use %userprofile% instead:
    %userprofile%\.nuget\packages

    Even further, would it be best to just store the .NET Profile configuration itself in the ndproj project file instead of the corresponding paths? The resolved paths could possibly be saved in the suo file instead. This would also help resolve issues when there are…

  6. Do not open all kinds of (tool) windows when/after running analysis

    I prefer to open/select and postion the windows when and how myself.
    I often do not need or want to view the default windows opened and it creates a kind of restlessness in the UI.

  8. ndepend console should run on .NET Standard for Linux based builders

    We are beginning to move towards linux based builders using a .NET Core environment for our .NET Core projects that are not dependent on windows. Because NDepend is a part of our build process, we cannot run any analysis at build times on the projects that have moved in that direction.

    Make NDepend.Console .NET Core compliant so that it can run on these Linux builders and restore full analysis capability to out builds.

  9. If Statements Counted as Local Variables?

    Is NDepend counting if statements as local variables? The number of local variables reported by NDepend is often much higher than what I manually count. In some cases NDepend is reporting 10+ more local variables in addition to the number that are actually declared.

  10. Description and Code for Avoid methods with too many parameters Do Not Match

    The description of rule Avoid methods with too many parameters says "This rule matches methods with more than 8 parameters.". The source code finds all methods with greater than 6 parameters.

    warnif count > 0 from m in JustMyCode.Methods where
    m.NbParameters >= 7

  11. Improve mapping of NDepend issues to Sonarcube

    Currently when using NDepend with SonarCube all critical rules are mapped to blocker issues and all other to major issues.

    Since NDepend 2017 has introduced the same granularity of issue severity as SonarCube has it would make sense to map it using this severity rating instead of using the obsolete critical/none critical rules flag of NDepend.

  13. Support for dark theme in Visual Studio

    Many developers use dark (or various others) theme in VS. NDepend should support that and style its windows accordingly.

  14. Add importance weighting to rules for more robust "fails"

    Instead of a binary critical or not critical flag for rules, it would be nice to have a weighting system for rules (e.g. "each violation of this rule is worth 3, but each violation of this important rule is worth 8").
    Then perhaps we could assign a threshold for whether our analysis failed based on point totals, or some percentage formula.

  15. Suppress items in the analysis

    It would be great if you can suppress certain items from the analysis result and add a remark to why you suppressed them.

    Some warnings might not be applicable to a certain item in the list, but if you cannot suppress them they will always count the item. Only other option is to fully disable the rule, but this might have unwanted consequences (like no warnings in the past).

    A feature like: "Accept this violation" would be highly appreciated.
