Change signature of method Follow

Hello J,

The getParameterList() method allows you to add the parameters as well. Use
getParameterList().add(), .addBefore() or any similar modification methods.

I'm trying to create a plugin which would at some point add parameters
to constructor of some known class. Position of this class is also
known. So finding this class and opening its file isn't a big
challenge but now i've stopped at this adding parameter part.

I've looked for code of 'Change signature' option from intellij in git
repository but couldn't find anything good.

I've tried to get PsiClass and then get constructor as PsiMethod.
There is a method getParameterList() but this is only to read this
parameters, not to change them.

Anyone knows good way to change/add parameters to class constructor?

Thanks! Haven't noticed that methods... really don't know how could I missed it... x]

But when I add some parameter, automatically IntelliJ /as I believe/ tries to save changes in file. Then I get many Assertion failed exceptions:

Assertion failed: Write access is allowed inside write-action only (see com.intellij.openapi.application.Application.runWriteAction()) 
java.lang.Throwable

I know that it is possible to register pluigin with that method Application.runWriteAction() but is it neccesary? Why IntelliJ automatically wants to save changes after add() method? Is there a way to avoid it?

Perhaps it tries to save changes to file when it looses focus on file? I think I had simillar situation in the past.

Hello J,

The runWriteAction() method has nothing to do with saving changes. Please
refer to http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJIDEAArchitectural+Overview
to find out what it actually does.

found the page. Thanks

Hello J,

It's not; it's probably crippled by the NNTP/forum gate. Try http://confluence.jetbrains.net/x/nl
instead
