I am using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 16 Preview (version IC-144.4199.23). I need to rename a couple Enum entries using IDEA's Refactoring system.

For instance, I currently have an enum entry named black, and I need to rename it and its usages to BLACK, which I do by Right-clicking the entry, selecting Refactor -> Rename..., and entering BLACK.

The problem is that IDEA prompts me with the Looking for Usages progress dialog, freezes the dialog, and never actually refactors the entry name.

This issue is pretty odd, because when I use Find Usages on the entry directly, it perfectly says that there is "No usages found in Project Files" (which is normal). However, the aforementioned dialog freezes at a roughly 99% progress bar in searching for occurrences, and does not proceed in renaming the entry.

Edit: Issue also applies to IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2, apparently.

    Given all the known bugs in intellij stable releases, you're brave for doing anything with an EAP other than check the new features, if you can even do that. – ChiefTwoPencils Mar 01 '16 at 02:08
  • @ChiefTwoPencils I've been using the v16 EAPs for the past month, and I haven't really gone into issues that affect my experience. It appears that the issue is present in IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2, too. – Momo Mar 01 '16 at 02:19
  • I can't reproduce the problem with 15.0.4; granted I don't know the exact scenario. I refactored an enum across a number of packages; worked as expected. – ChiefTwoPencils Mar 01 '16 at 03:43

When you click the type of refactoring, make sure that in the 'Choose scope where change signature may occur:' you DO NOT choose "All Files", but rather something else - such as "Project Files". Otherwise, it's going to take forever!
