How do I prevent Code analysis from running on test projects?

Question

I have a Dot Net Core 3.1 Solution with several test projects. How do I prevent Code analysis from running on test projects?

VS info:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019
Version 16.7.2

The instructions here disable-code-analysis

do not work as I continue to get results for my test projects in the Code Metrics Results window.

How do I prevent this?

Hi WILLIAMBEHNING-8606 ,

The Code Analysis and Code metrics were two functions in VS IDE.

For example, we could use the code analyze under the project property during we build project in solution explorer window or run it click “Run Code Analysis” under Analyze menu manually.

But we get the code metrics results window with this function like the following link with “Calculate Code Metrics” option under Analyze menu:

If you didn’t want to run the Code Analysis under build certain projects, you could disable it under the project property. If I misunderstand anything, feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

I know it's been a while - I lost track of this post.

To add some more info, I am setting Run on build and Run on live analysys to false.

I still get messages for these projects:
