“In almost all cases, I’m opposed to setting aside time for refactoring. In my view, refactoring is not an activity you set aside time to do.

Hello guys, RubyMine team recently was on New Year and Christmas holidays, less than a week has passed since our days off ended, however today we want to show you the new cool feature coming in 4.0 – inline method refactoring. We are pretty sure most of you are already familiar with extract method refactoring and many of you use it on daily basis. Inline method refactoring is the inverse one for extract method. Let me show you several examples on how it works. Operations Priority Control Let's go to the code fragment: Place caret on the sum(1) call and invoke Inline

Do you use RubyMine's introduce variable refactoring? You should, actually, as well as many other refactorings RubyMine offers. RubyMine 2.5 features an improved procedure for introducing variables, fields or constants. You no longer need to select the block you want to create a variable from. Instead RubyMine gives you options. The code example below could probably be improved a bit by introducing some local variables. So, we put the caret on the computer_players and invoke Refactor->Introduce Variable. It opens a popup with several options: While we move through the option

You've probably got used to utilizing the power of RubyMine's refactorings, have you? One of the cool refactorings we have in RubyMine is 'Introduce variable' that lets you quickly create variable from a statement and replace all similar occurrences in the code. Right now we are adding the reverse thing: inline local refactoring. Here is the slide-cast showing it in action. Step 1: Place caret on a variable you want to inline and select Refactor | Inline... from the main menu or context menu. Or, even better, learn the keyboard shortcut. Step 2: Confirm your action. Result: Your code i
