Same for Introduce Field To reproduce it is important to call the action from the Refactoring menu with no selection in editor. Invoking as hint works fine (In reply to comment #1) > Same for Introduce Field > To reproduce it is important to call the action from the Refactoring menu with > no selection in editor. Invoking as hint works fine Jirka, can you describe both scenarios in more detail? How it works currently is as-designed, but both should work exactly the same. Steps to reproduce (thanks to Jirka Kovalsky): 1) have a code: int number = 4; 2) put cursor behind '4' 3) call Refactoring -> Introduce -> Constant 4) from the popup - select 'int number = 4;' -> the name is not editable Now I found that the invoking as hint behaves exactly the same (when the whole line is selected). |
When I want to change a local variable to a constant I can not enter a new name in the text field of the dialog box. So I have to do an extra step by renaming the constant. However if I create a constant out of an argument for a method, I can change the name. Sample: //name of the constant can be changed foo.setText("Some important Text"); //name of the constant has to be changed in an extra step String arg = "Some important Text"; foo.setText(arg); I would like to do it in one step.
