when changing the signature of a variable, the result will be an internal val myvariable: MyType
this breaks my code because internal visibility modifier wasn't initially there. I can't change this either I believe, or is there a setting I missed?

which refactoring specifically are you using? 🤔

Yep I confirm that’s what I see when refactoring a property of an interface and there’s an issue for this: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-6091/Change-signature-refactoring-makes-abstract-property-in-interface-internal

cheers cheers

I have subinterfaces, classes and delegates all extending these properties so refactoring is a hassle for me, hope it gets tackled soon 🙂

[wasyl]

yeah doesn’t seem like there’s any workaround 😕

🍿 😄
but yeah, Kotlin refactoring as slow and lacking, I’m happy you brought that up! Interested in catching up with the discussion
