Rule Set

You can change action for any of the analyzer rule by configuring your own custom rule set.

Local Rule Set

You can use rule set defined in your rule set json.

Create json file i.e. custom.ruleset.json with your own action for the rules you want, i.e

{
    "name": "Addmecode ruleset",
    "description": "Custom ruleset from Addmecode",
    "rules": [
        {
            "id": "AA0248",
            "action": "Warning",
            "justification": "Using 'this' makes code more clear"
        }
    ]
}

Modify your settings.json

set al.ruleSetPath to the path of the json file

{
    "al.ruleSetPath": "./custom.ruleset.json"
}

External rule set

You can use rule set defined in external json. The json can be i.e. in a GitHub repository.

Get url for the external json

display raw content of the json
get url of the opened file

Modify your settings.json

set al.ruleSetPath to the copied url
set al.enableExternalRulesets to true

{
    "al.ruleSetPath": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/addmecode/al-ruleset/refs/heads/main/custom.ruleset.json",
    "al.enableExternalRulesets": true
}

Mix Local And External Rule Set

You can mix both approaches.

Create json file i.e. custom.ruleset.json with the reference to the external rule set and your own action for the rules you want, i.e

{
    "name": "Addmecode ruleset",
    "description": "Custom ruleset from Addmecode",
    "includedRuleSets": [
        {
            "action": "Default",
            "path": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/addmecode/al-ruleset/refs/heads/main/custom.ruleset.json"
        }
    ],
    "rules": [
        {
            "id": "AA0218",
            "action": "Hidden",
            "justification": "I dont like tooltips"
        }
    ]
}

Modify your settings.json

set al.ruleSetPath to the path of the json file
set al.enableExternalRulesets to true

{
    "al.ruleSetPath": "./custom.ruleset.json",
    "al.enableExternalRulesets": true
}
