RubyMine 2017.2 Help

Push Members Down

The Push Members Down refactoring helps clean up the class hierarchy by moving class members to a subclass. The members are then relocated into the direct subclasses only.

Pushing members down

  1. In the editor, open the class whose members you need to push down.
  2. On the main menu or on the context menu, choose Refactor | Push Members Down. Push Members Down dialog box displays the list of members to be pushed down.
  3. In the Members to be pushed down area, select the members you want to move. Note that the member at caret is already selected.

    If pushing a member might cause problems, you will be notified with red highlighting. It means that, if the situation is unattended, an error will emerge after refactoring. RubyMine prompts you with a Problems Detected dialog, where you can opt to ignore or fix the problem.

  4. Preview and apply changes.
