Catching a missing call to await

Question

Other than writing my own Roslyn based code analysis tool to find such code, is there a simple way to find calls to methods that return a Task object, but that are not awaited?

Answer 1

There is already a compiler warning for this, unless you turn it off or write code explicitly to suppress the warning (such as assigning the returned task to a variable).

Personally, I prefer to have compiler warnings as errors.
