[SOLVED] unable to rename variable in source: TObject not found
«
on:

Something weird is happening
I've tried to work with Generics.Collections, but it is very buggy with CodeTools. Eventually I've stuck with
classesh.inc(427,23) Error: identifier not found: TObject
when trying to rename a button on the form (it worked earlier with almost the same code!) - and even reinstalling+purging Lazarus+FPC (1.9+3.1.1 or trunk by FPCUpDeluxe) doesn't help. The project itself compiles and works flawlessly. Where could the problem be? Can it be related to Generics.Collections?

I would try the following.
1) Tools\Rescan fpc source directory.
This should reset the code tools internal lists.
2) cleanup and build.
Make sure that you include everything especially the packages. Less likely to work this has nothing to do with code tools and their parser but it might reset some internal list as well.
3) comment out any generics use/declaration.
Other than that I have no idea at the moment not with out seeing the code that is.

At my work computer everything works fine with the same project. Means something left behind my experiments with trunk codetools
I wonder, what could it be? I'll try clean reinstall again this evening.
Seems that it's related to
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=39272
Marked the topic as "solved" as the problem is somewhere in my installation (I didn't delete some configuration? Or some compiled units left over somewhere?).

(sigh) I've tried everything. Deleted every file that had "lazarus" or "fpc" in its name. Reinstalled Lazarus+FPC (different versions by FPCUpDeluxe) several times.
Not working even on clean project - trying to rename a
TButton
on
TForm
results in "TObject not found".
I guess/hope, reinstalling the OS will work?

I have the same problem, and no, reinstalling the OS won't work. Recompiling fpc with the patch will, but it is not very obvious how to do that.

Lazarus has many problems with Generics.Collections (for now). One of critical issue was fixed in r56571 and code editor is more usable with Generics.Collections.
