Hi,

I'm using Lazarus 1.7 r52282 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-linux-gtk2. None of the refactoring functionality seems to be working in my copy of Lazarus. Not sure if this was a known issue and already fixed, but I thought I would mention it here, in case this issue went unnoticed.

I tried "Make resourcestring" and "Extract procedure". Both got halfway with the refactoring - by that I mean the string constant got replaced with the resource string name, but the actual resource string variable never got defined. In the case of the Extract Procedure, a similar thing happened. The selected code got replaced with the new procedure name, but the actual procedure never got defined.

In both cases I received an error (see attached screenshot), and then the editor highlighting went totally out of whack. I had to close down Lazarus, restore my code from the code repository and then start Lazarus again. Needless to say, I didn't attempt any further refactoring.

I think the only refactoring that does work on my system is "Rename Identifier" - but that is probably because it is the simplest refactoring of the available options - equivalent to a Search & Replace.

Regards,
Graeme

Have you got any code to reproduce this?

You might be able to work around by switching off ifdef lowlight ing. (set all involved colors to none)

Unfortunately I am not allowed to share/publish any of the code I'm currently working on. But I will test the behaviour on open source code and let you know.

Will do, and report back tomorrow.
