SA1516 is reported between extern alias and global using about stylecopanalyzers HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the update. I already keep my global usings in my project file, so SA1210 doesn't affect me, rather, it was something I noticed while testing my style settings.

I do however get SA1516 in all your examples, so I still don't see an inconsistency there. SA1516 simply wants a blank line between externs and usings.

I see. I've retested my two code snippets and indeed I do get SA1516 for both of them on the latest beta.

The issue is primarily about the difference in behavior, but since that doesn't exist I'll be closing the issue. Apologies for the misreport.

Thanks again.

Unable to reproduce using the latest beta

I've pushed a minimal reproduction here https://github.com/Arthri/stylecop-sa1516-repro

As an aside, it seems that I am also getting SA1210, suggesting that I put global using System.IO.Compression after using System.ComponentModel despite it being erroneous C#

The issue with SA1210 is closely related to #3404. It happens when mixing global usings with normal usings in the same file. As stated in that issue: due to the complexity of a number of related analyzers, this might not be fixed anytime soon. The recommendation is to keep all your global usings in one place, to make the them easier to maintain. Global usings can be placed in the project file if you want. Another alternative is to keep them in a separate source file, called GlobalUsings.cs or something like that.
