Question what to do about EC120

[SpaceOgre]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2019 Enterprise
• This extension: 1.17.284

Description

This is more of a question. How should I handle EC120 warnings?

Warning	EC120	Naming rule 'non_private_readonly_fields_should_be_pascal_case' was reordered relative to overlapping rule 'non_private_static_fields_should_be_pascal_case'. Elements which match both will be validated against rule 'non_private_readonly_fields_should_be_pascal_case' starting with Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3.

Does this mean that I should remove one of the rules and it will work the same?

Got same issue and almost reported a bug. But once checked definition noticed I was missing correct symbol parameter name. Once I've corrected it, warning EC120 wanished so if you got EC120 check your .editorconfig for 'non_private_static_fields_should_be_pascal_case' think this rule is missing correct symbol parameter name.

Can you clarify what you did? I'm not seeing the issue.

Officially not sure whats the real issue, I got EC120 with your definitions, went over it more than several times. But once I just renamed first definitions rule name to something else (almost anything else) EC120 went away (check code below). Also when I put your code back I get back EC120, and comment line with 'required_modifiers = readonly' EC120 is also gone. Guess there are two bugs there somewhere in error EC120 validation code, competing 'static' and 'readonly' and something else with naming of rules - not sure couldn't grasp really why. Guess we would need some clarification what is really EC120 and how it works (or at least how it should work), or dissecting the plugins code. But definitely yours is a bug, weird one.

and oddly code works with '<', '>' and '-' which is nice to know, but would be preferable to be in standard what characters are acceptable for rule, symbol and style names.

In my case, no changes to the rules was necessary. Simply reordering them removed the warning.
