Why does the IDE keep suggesting me to change my file property to all-uppercase? How can I turn that off?

[Rob Elliot]

A file level public val is a global constant, and in Java there’s a convention that constants are upper, snake case.

[Marc Knaup]

Yes, but I'm developing in Kotlin 🤔

[Rob Elliot]

They copied Java.

[Marc Knaup]

"Names of properties holding references to singleton objects can use the same naming style as object declarations:

val PersonComparator: Comparator<Person> = /*...*/
"

[Marc Knaup]

Anyway, my question is how to turn that off.
I've banned all uppercase from my code and I remember that there was a related option somewhere.

[Rob Elliot]

I was answering the first half of your question, why it did it.

Perhaps you’re looking for Editor > Inspections > Kotlin > Naming conventions > Const property naming convention

[Marc Knaup]

Right 👍

The setting doesn’t change anything though. Looks like it only applies to const val.

[Rob Elliot]

Object property naming convention?

[Marc Knaup]

That’s already set correctly and doesn’t affect it either

[Rob Elliot]

Though looks like it’s happy with lower case to start

[Marc Knaup]

None of my inspections require uppercase now but the refactoring suggestion remains

[Rob Elliot]

Don’t know then, sorry

[Marc Knaup]

No worries, but thanks for trying 🙂

This is during the Rename refactoring, right? Then I suppose inspections have nothing to do with it. It's worth to create a feature request to configure this refactoring.
