This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I created a new library project and used Windows Explorer to move a schema file into the src directory (at the time, the the file had no extension). I then used NB file view to add an .xsd extension to the file. I then added a new directory to my project root called /schema. I then attempted to move my .xsd from /src to /schema. This popped up a window asking me to refactor. There was no option to not refactor, so I chose to do so. Instead of moving the file, it created a second /src directory under /src and moved my schema to /src/src/mySchema.xsd. I now cannot move the file to any other directory at all.
reassign to refactoring for evaluation
To move to any directory in the project, select in in the To Package combo box. You can move the file to any directory inside a project or to any other *dependent* projects. Please see #114761
This was a directory in the project. I've moved files before using refactoring. This one failed in an unusual way.
Did you type in "src" in the To package combo box? Thats the only way it would have created a src dir under the /src directory and moved the file.
Please provide steps to reproduce.
Can you let me know if you typed "src" in the "To" pkg combo box?
I selected the default for the To: box, which looks like it was 'src'.
Why not?
Well, simply an attempt to close a long forgotten defect: old, caused by a module off the mainstream distribution, not commented or voted for over 3 years with no attempts to raise the priority. If you still experience the defect && it really affects you, it's your right to object and reopen as you did - this way it can be seen there's a real need to fix the situation. Please check the behaviour against a recent build, though.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
