Well said. Yes - we should work on our refactoring tools a lot more.  As the inventors of refactoring and the tools that back it, we���ve got to a place where we are a bit poor in this area - it���s not fluid and easy like it should be. Although - hats off to the automatic rewrite tools for migration - that is very neat. But let���s rally around making the basic refactorings enjoyable and easy again.

���Hi,

I get, more often than not, a message indicating an "invalid source to
extract", commonly with the "End of statement list encountered"
explanation.

In comparison, I can extract the same code in Pharo 4. Is there a
reason why the "Extract method" refactoring is not working in Pharo 8
as it was in that or any other version?

Thanks!
