How can I enhance my code refactoring process for greater efficiency within IntelliJ IDEA? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Answered

I'm encountering an issue with IntelliJ IDEA while attempting to refactor a specific class in my project by renaming it. Despite selecting the "Search for references" option and applying the refactoring, not all occurrences of the class name are updated throughout the codebase correctly. Here are the details:

Software Details:

  • IntelliJ IDEA Version: 2021.3.2
  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Java Version: OpenJDK 11

Steps Taken:

  1. Selected the class name.
  2. Chose the "Refactor" option from the context menu.
  3. Opted for "Rename" and entered the new class name.
  4. Checked the "Search for references" option.
  5. Applied the refactoring.

Your prompt assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm confident that your expertise can help me overcome this obstacle and improve my efficiency in using IntelliJ IDEA for code refactoring.

Hello,

Please click the blue icon and brings up the Rename options popup then choose More options, then from the Rename dialog, check if the Scope is the right range selected.
