Code inspection: Ambiguous symbols in text argument

This inspection reports a string-based code reference that resolves to more than one symbol. JetBrains Rider understands many framework and tooling strings as symbol references, and this warning means the string is ambiguous.

Example

                using System.Diagnostics;
                [DebuggerDisplay("{GetText()}")]
                class User
                {
                    private string GetText() => "short";
                    private string GetText(int format) => "long";
                }
            

                using System.Diagnostics;
                [DebuggerDisplay("{DebugText}")]
                class User
                {
                    private string DebugText => GetText();
                    private string GetText() => "short";
                    private string GetText(int format) => "long";
                }
            

How to fix

This inspection does not have a dedicated quick-fix. The fix is to make the referenced symbol unambiguous.
