AD0001: InternalProcedureNotReferenced throws MissingMethodException for QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded on BC27

[fvet]

Analyzer: ALCops.LinterCop.Analyzers.InternalProcedureNotReferenced
Rule: LC0051 (InternalProcedureNotReferenced)

Environment:

• BC platform/application version: 27.0.0.0
• AL runtime: 16.0
• AL extension version: [check in VS Code: Extensions → AL Language → version]
• LinterCop version: [check your .alpackages or NuGet/vsix version]
• OS: Windows 11

Error:
AD0001: Analyzer 'ALCops.LinterCop.Analyzers.InternalProcedureNotReferenced' threw an
exception of type 'System.MissingMethodException' with message:
Method not found: 'System.String
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeAnalysis.Utilities.StringExtensions.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded(System.String)'
at ALCops.LinterCop.Analyzers.InternalProcedureNotReferenced.MethodSymbolAnalyzer
.ReportUnchangedReferencePassedParameters(Action`1 action)
at ALCops.LinterCop.Analyzers.InternalProcedureNotReferenced
.CheckApplicationObjects(CompilationAnalysisContext compilationAnalysisContext)

Steps to reproduce:

1. When opening our large internal AL project targeting BC 27 / runtime 16.0
2. The error appears on app.json (line 1) at workspace load / compile time

Impact: The analyzer crashes on every compile — it cannot analyze any procedure references.

What info can I provide to better troubleshoot?

Thanks for reporting this, it's now resolved on the alpha channel of ALCops.

With the release of v0.5.1 of ALCops a few minutes ago, I believe this issue should now resolved.

If you're using VS Code, you can run ALCops: Check for Updates to get this latest version.
