The false positive described in C#9 - FP linked to private constructors and the new terse new() syntax? is still occurring for me when using SonarScanner version 5.13 SonarScanner for .NET

I’ve copied the old topic below:
There appears to be a bug with private constructors and the new terse new() syntax ( Target-typed new leading to
Code Smell: Remove the unused private constructor

public class Foo
    {
        private Foo()
        {
        }
        public static Foo Create()
        {
            return new();
        }
    }

Hey there.

Can you tell us what product you’re using (SonarLint, SonarQube, SonarCloud), and if relevant, what version?

Thanks.

Hi,

Your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTS at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

8.9.10 → 9.9 → 10.0 (last step optional)

You may find these resources helpful:

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

If you still face the issue persists after upgrade, please come back to us.

Thanks, I’ll work to get it updated and check for the issue again.
