Confirmed - the files mentioned in the review comments are not present in the current PR changes. Only the CodeFixProvider and updated documentation remain, which is the correct scope for this feature.

Refactor this method to reduce its cognitive complexity. Can it be reduced by introducing a helper method or 2?

Copy link
Contributor Author

Choose a reason for hiding this comment

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

Refactored the ApplyFix method to reduce cognitive complexity by extracting three helper methods:

  • TryExtractStringFormatInfo: Handles validation and extraction of format information
  • IsStringFormatInvocation: Verifies the semantic model for string.Format calls
  • ApplyInterpolatedStringTransformation: Handles the syntax tree transformation

This makes the code more maintainable and easier to understand. Commit: 515fe99

ImmutableDictionary<string, string> properties, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
SyntaxNode root = await document.GetSyntaxRootAsync(cancellationToken);

// Validate and extract string.Format information
if (!TryExtractStringFormatInfo(node, out InvocationExpressionSyntax invocation, out var formatString, out ArgumentSyntax[] arguments))
{
return document;
}

// Verify this is actually a string.Format call
if (!await IsStringFormatInvocation(document, invocation, cancellationToken))

Because getting the semantic model is computationally expensive, we should check for "Format" before, rather than after.

Optimized performance by adding IsFormatMethodSyntactically method that checks for "Format" method name before getting the expensive semantic model. The semantic model is now only accessed after confirming the method name matches. Commit: b8bb09d

Can this large method be refactored to reduce its cognitive complexity?

Refactored the method to reduce cognitive complexity by extracting 5 helper methods:

  • AddTextContent: Handles adding text content to result list
  • TryProcessPlaceholder: Processes placeholder matches
  • CreateInterpolationWithFormat: Creates interpolations with format specifiers
  • HandleRemainingContent: Handles remaining text and special cases
  • CreateInterpolatedStringText: Creates interpolated string text tokens

Reduced the main method from ~88 lines to ~28 lines with better separation of concerns. All 15 tests continue to pass. Commit: a56d231
