Rename Not Working in projected C# scenarios (Blazor Code)

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Hi Team,

Using VS Community 2019 V16.6.0 on Windows 10, when creating and using Blazor WebAssembly App project template, in a Blazor component, I am not seeing the Rename refactoring option when I right click a variable or method name. But rename does work in JavaScript code in the same project.

Reproduce steps:

dotnet/aspnetcore#1. Create a new Blazor WebAssembly App project.

dotnet/aspnetcore#2. Add some codes in .razor file for example Index.razor and includes methods and variables.

dotnet/aspnetcore#3. move cursor to focus on the method's name or variable, then right-click it, you will not find the "Rename" option in the list.

If this is a potential issue, please fix it.

Thanks.

I verified that the rename option disapeared for Razor scenarios /cc @jasonmalinowski

To workaround this issue you can use hotkeys such as ctrl + r, ctrl + r to rename your items.

Repro:

1. Create a default Blazor app
2. Open Counter.razor
3. right click on currentCount
4. See no rename option:

Why after 2 years it still doesn't work correctly??

@iikuzmychov this is currently on the backlog. So this does not take priority over all the other work we have on our plates. If you'd like to contribute a fix here though, we'd help get that in!
