Re: [Pharo-project] Is there a way to use rename refactor while preserving whitespace formatting in refactored methods?

Gwenael changed the RBParser and AST to preserve code formatting. He never understood why nobody did look at what he did.

I looked at it. The code did not work for me at all (it broke everything), so I couldn't test it. IMHO this is not something that can be just fixed by changing the Refactoring Browser. The refactorings are implemented as "arbitrary" transformations/re-compositions of the AST. For a machine (e.g. the parser, the rewrite-engine, etc.), it is not clear if a space or a comment belongs to the AST node before or after. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
