Bug 413967

Description Noopur Gupta 2013-07-30 04:17:47 EDT

In the given example, perform Refactor > Extract Method after selecting "foo();". Give the destination type as 'C_outer'.
We get compilation error in the extracted method that foo() is undefined for the type C_outer.
-------------------------------------------------
public class C_outer {
	class C_inner {
		void foo() {
		}

		void test() {
			foo(); // extract to method
		}
	}
}
--------------------------- Results in:
public class C_outer {
	class C_inner {
		void foo() {
		}

		void test() {
			extracted(); // extract to method
		}
	}

	public void extracted() {
		foo(); // compilation error here
	}
}
-------------------------------------------------

Same issue with interface methods also with destination type 'I_outer' (>= Java 1.8):

interface I_outer {
	interface I_inner {
		static void foo() {
		}

		default void test() {
			foo(); // extract to method
		}
	}
}

We should check if the code being extracted is accessible from the specified destination type and handle it accordingly.
