FEATURE REQUEST: Intellisense for PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1

Provide intellisense (suggestions and rule information) for any PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 file, wherein the intellisense is based on the expected format of PSSA files and the runtime value of PSScriptAnalyzer\Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule.

Ideally, there would also be an option to configure one or more custom rule paths, but that might constitute a separate feature request on account of editor configuration differences.

@travis-c-lagrone see PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer#675 (comment) for your second request

Seems like "schema for PSD1" files is a request that should be made on the PowerShell project. Either that, or request an alternate format for settings that does support schema - like JSON. For the PSSA settings file, I don't see a compelling reason to use PSD1 over JSON.

Agreed

@rkeithhill PowerShell #4016 would address "schema for PSD1" feature request, but it hasn't seen any activity since 2017. I've posted a question about progress, so we'll see what the answer is (if any).

[rjmholt]

We're working on a few other things at the moment. The easier thing to do might be to add JSON support in PSSA (I recently rewrote the PSD parsing for that and now would be a good time to add such support). I'd recommend opening an issue there

[travisclagrone]

@rjmholt I have opened PSScriptAnalyzer #1254.

Closed as mis-scoped duplicate of PSScriptAnalyzer #1254
