Code sample

            asasdasd";

// Should be compliant
string testB = $@"asdasdasd
        asasdasd{testA}asdasd
        asdasd";

thanks @alaincroisetiere for the well written post and great repro

we don’t support C# 8 yet, we’re currently working on it across our dotnet offering

I’ve opened https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-dotnet/issues/2773 to track it

sorry , I now realized that this does not have to do with the new C# 8 feature of allowing @$" ", but the issue stands for the pre-C# 8 syntax of $@" "

Do you need to update SonarLint for VisualStudio 2017 ?
