AD0001 in many analyzers when stylecop.json link is broken

[bjornhellander]

If a project consuming StyleCop.Analyzers has a broken stylecop.json link, then many analyzers fail with an ArgumentNullException.

Version: 1.2.0-beta.556

This call probably returns null, causing problems later on:

StyleCopAnalyzers/StyleCop.Analyzers/StyleCop.Analyzers/Settings/SettingsHelper.cs

Line 277 in f5843ae

SourceText additionalTextContent = additionalFile.GetText(cancellationToken);

Would this cause a case where the analyzers just stop working and require VS to be completely restarted? I'm having that issue, and I do not use stylecop.json files in the current project and wonder if by re adding this file will resolve that issue.

@jeremyregnerus No, not as far as I understand. I suggest you create a new issue instead and describe what you are experiencing.
