stylecop.json seems to be ignored

I’ve created a stylecop.json via the recommended “Add StyleCop settings file to the project” and configured it to be:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers/master/StyleCop.Analyzers/StyleCop.Analyzers/Settings/stylecop.schema.json",
  "settings": {
    "documentationRules": {
      "companyName": "ANYTHING",
      "copyrightText": "Copyright (c) {companyName}. All rights reserved."
    }
  }
}

Unfortunately the following header violates SA1636:

// <copyright file="BundleConfig.cs" company="ANYTHING">
// Copyright (c) ANYTHING. All rights reserved.
// </copyright>

What am I doing wrong?

Not sure what is happening. Could you try and edit the .csproj file so that it adds the stylecop.json file as AdditionalFiles? See the sample below what that should look like. Also make sure that the stylecop.json entry is not combined with other entries in the same ItemGroup.

<ItemGroup>
  <AdditionalFiles Include="stylecop.json" />
</ItemGroup>

After some digging, @vweijsters was right.

For a Web Application project, the stylecop.json file is created with a “Build Action” configuration of “Content”. Changing this to “Additional Files” fixed my issue.

For a Class Library project, the stylecop.json file is created with a “Build Action” configuration of “None”. That seems to work fine.

Thanks for your help.
