HasValidOutputAttribute
Summary
Severity - Fail
Check method - Here
Details
The HasValidOutputAttribute check ensures that, if there is a piece of Output documentation is present on a method, that it is of a correct type.
MultiOutput documentation should only be used on methods providing multiple outputs using the return type of Output<t1, t2, ..., tn>, while Output documentation should be present on methods returning a single type.
For example, the following two methods will fail this check because the documentation does not match the return types.
[Output("outputVariable", "My output documentation")]
public static Output<bool, string> MyOutputMethod()
{
}
[MultiOutput(0, "outputVariable", "My output documentation")]
public static bool MyOutputMethod()
{
}
These methods fail this check because the MultiOutput documentation is on a method returning a single type, while the Output documentation is on a method returning multiple results. For these methods to pass this check, they should look like this:
