AnalyzerPack is a nuget package that will automatically create a package for your Roslyn Diagnostic Analyzer when performing a dotnet pack on your project.

Today, when you create a Roslyn Diagnostic Analyzer using the new project format, it can create a NuGet package, but this package is a standard .NET package and not compatible with a Diagnostic Analyzer package that expect a specific layout of your package (e.g DLL must be moved to analyzers\dotnet\cs) In order to publish your package as a compatible Roslyn package, you need to create a specific nuspec file, build your project and build your nupkg from your custom nuspec.

With AnalyzerPack, you can keep your project as it is, but when performing a dotnet pack it will automatically match the expected layout of a Roslyn Diagnostic Analyzer package.

Your resulting diagnostic assembly DLL will be moved to the folder analyzers/dotnet/cs inside the NuGet package. It will also add automatically the tools\install.ps1, tools\uninstall.ps1 files.

Standard Package	With AnalyzerPack

Simply reference AnalyzerPack into your project:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="AnalyzerPack" Version="1.*" PrivateAssets="all" />
</ItemGroup>

And when performing a dotnet pack on your project (or from Visual Studio), it will automatically generate the proper folder structure for the NuGet diagnostic analyzer.

You will see the following message if the package succeeded:

AnalyzerPack successfully prepared your package as a Roslyn Diagnostic Analyzer

• Might not work with old non SDK project format.
• Your project requires to have only a single TargetFramework configured (multiple target frameworks are not supported)
• Maybe only working with csproj due to the hardcoded value analyzers/dotnet/cs, need to check that
