Move Static Members to another type overwrites existing file and code #61471

Open vsfeedback opened 2 years ago

vsfeedback commented 2 years ago

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

hello again :)

I've been developing a few related methods and had them all in one static class file, but then I wanted to refactor them out into their own files.

I had previously done this for a common method so there already existed a file with the standard name given by vs. In this case LayoutHelpers.cs

Anyway this had slipped my mind and in the previous (non preview version) I was used to VS behaving itself and checking if the file already existed.

I have come to rely on this magical refactoring tool and have not had issues before.

Anyway this time the original contents of the file were overwritten.

Hoping to be helpful I have recreated my steps and recorded the issue.

All the best

short explanation: if the file name for the new type already exists, it overwrites the file instead of finding a unique name.
