"Refactoring -> Rename symbol" not working

Post by meter »

At some point in my C++ project, Code generation / Refactoring -> Rename symbol... stopped working. When I try to rename a symbol, nothing happens: there is no dialog and no messages are written to the console. (Also, when I try Code generation / Refactoring -> Rename local variable... I get a dialog that states that no matches were found even though there clearly are some. However, this might be due to my misunderstanding regarding how this tool should work as I have not used it prior to having issues with Rename symbol...).

I am using v8.0 (from your repository) on aptosid Linux (Debian sid derivative).

Do you have any idea what may have broken refactoring or the best way to go about providing more helpful info the issue? FWIW, refactoring the same project in another IDE still works.

I can't relly tell why it fails, try re-parsing your workspace (workspace->retag workspace (full))
