SA1402 Code Fix: New file created in other project when using Xamarin shared project

[accidentaldeveloper]

Scenario:
Solution with:
Xamarin Shared Project (calling this Mobile.Shared)
Xamarin iOS Project (Mobile.iOS)
Xamarin Android Project (Mobile.Android)

Mobile.iOS and Mobile.Android reference Mobile.Shared
File (Foo.cs) contains two classes, violating SA1402
Execute the Code Fix for the offending class

Expected:
StyleCop creates a new file in Mobile.Shared for the second class

Actual:
StyleCop creates a new file in each of the projects referencing Mobile.Shared (Mobile.iOS and Mobile.Android)

Thank you so much for this project. This is not a blocking issue - just trying to do my part by reporting it.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I'll investigate and see if it can be fixed.

This is similar to some other bugs we've had. At the time we last checked, this was caused by a Roslyn limitation; the most frustrating part is Roslyn doesn't even provide us with information to know whether or not the bug will occur (so we could selectively disable the code fix for violations in shared projects).

The workaround described in #1714 might work here as well (link)
