What severity is GCI0056?

GCI0056 is a Info severity rule. Info rules are informational and do not affect exit code.

How do I disable GCI0056?

Add the rule to .gauntletci.json: { "rules": { "GCI0056": { "enabled": false } } }. You can also override the severity to Block or Warn without disabling the rule. See the Configuration docs at https://gauntletci.com/docs/configuration for the full schema.

All rules

GCI0056InfoCode Quality and Test Gaps

Missing Test Framework

Detects production code changes when the repository has no evidence of a test framework in project files.

Why this rule exists

Changes without any test infrastructure are higher risk; this is a repo-level signal, not a line-level defect.

Code example

Triggers the rule

  // New Service.cs added, no *.Tests.csproj or xunit reference anywhere in repo

Passes the rule

  // tests/MyApp.Tests/MyApp.Tests.csproj references xunit and mirrors production changes

Configuration

Disable or adjust the severity of this rule in .gauntletci.json:

{
  "rules": {
    "GCI0056": { "enabled": true, "severity": "Info" }
  }
}

See Configuration for the full schema.

Implemented in src/GauntletCI.Core/Rules/Implementations/GCI0056_*.cs.
