Code Action Severity#
By default, code actions are treated as editor hints - they are not listed in Problems window and they are not underlined in the editor.
This can be changed so specific code action can be underlined as an error, a warning, or a message, and listed in Problems window.
Using .editorconfig File#
Open or create file named .editorconfig, typically in the workspace root folder. Set the code action convention to one of the following:
error: code action will be underlined as an error (red squiggly line) and listed in Problems window.warning: code action will be underlined as a warning (yellow squiggly line) and listed in Problems window.message: code action will be underlined as a message (blue squiggly line) and listed in Problems window.autofix: code action will be underlined as a message (blue squiggly line), listed in Problems window, and automatically applied as autoFix (can be enabled using setting"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {"source.fixAll": "explicit"}).force: code action will be underlined as an error (red squiggly line), listed in Problems window, and automatically applied as autoFix (can be enabled using setting"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {"source.fixAll": "explicit"}).false: code action will be hidden.
