Thanks for taking a look. I cannot reproduce it now, but this is what happened to me: I had a class with two class variables like

Object subclass: #X instanceVariableNames: ‘’ classVariableNames: 'A B' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Test'

Then I created class Y with two class variables with the same names A and B. Then I tried to move X to be a subclass of Y removing A and B from the definition of X like:

Y subclass: #X instanceVariableNames: ‘’ classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Test'

And at this point I would get the dialog asking if I wanted to move them to Undeclared, but no matter what I responded the class variables where not removed from X. So I had to inspect and remove them manually and then recompile all the methods in X.

I wish I could reproduce it, I should have saved a copy of the image.

Thanks, Luciano

Hi Luciano, (cc'ing Squeak) it makes sense what you say but I looked at Squeak and Pharo and the behavior is the same... I do not know why it does that... there must be a reason.

Does anybody know why it is implemented that way? (look at Luciano's email below)

Cheers! Hernan.

Class>>#removeClassVarName: asks a user for confirmation if the variable is still used in some method, and depending on the user answer it moves it to Undeclared or leaves it alone. However, it stops there and returns, without removing it from the classPool. Shouldn’t it go ahead and continue independently of the user response? -- Cuis-dev mailing list Cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st https://lists.cuis.st/mailman/listinfo/cuis-dev
