Description Staffan Palmroos 2013-11-05 22:17:22 UTC

Renaming a class in the class tool view the changed name is updated in the code files and the CMakeLists but the "Classes" tool view itself is not updated, it still has the old name and the option to rename the class disappears. I have to restart KDevelop to update the view.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the "Classes" tool view
2. Right click on a class name and chose "Rename ###"

Actual Results:  
Old class name is displayed in the tool view. Chosing "Find uses" uses the old name of the class and consequently nothing is found (in my case).

Expected Results:  
The tool view itself should be updated with the new name.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Indeed I can reproduce it with KDevelop Version 5.9.220803 (22.08.3)

I do this by opening the classes view, double click a class name in the view to open the header file for the class. I then right click on the class definition to rename the class. The class is renamed together with all the references to it but the classes tool view is not updated. Now I can no longer click on the class name to open the header file.

However, in the source code editor I now get a suggestion to rename the file to reflect the class name. When I do so the program crashed but I guess that's another bug.
