SA1516 (ElementsMustBeSeparatedByBlankLine) reported for Property and its backing fields

[fwagan]

I enabled SA1516 as error, but I see errors for a property and its backing fields

public bool TestProperty => testProperty ??= false;
bool? testProperty; // SA1516 reports here

I don't find conguration regarding SA1516 in the settings schema.

If this information would help, I configured to omit private modifier by
dotnet_style_require_accessibility_modifiers = omit_if_default:error

Yes, this rule expects blank lines surrounding all members except fields. The expected code style using this analyzer package (without any configuration of any of the rules) is all fields at the top and properties further down with blank lines in between them.

private bool a = false;
private int b = 42;

public bool A => a;

public int B => b;

There are many code styles that are reasonable, but this analyzer package generally enforces one specific style, with some configuration possible in some cases. Your style is simply not supported.

Note that from C# 14, most backing fields can probably be removed.

I see. Thanks for the clerification.
