Hello
I started learning Swift through "Develop in Swift Fundamentals" version for Xcode 12 by Apple Books. Everything more or less went smoothly for first few chapters until I got stuck on Guided Project: Light. It's the part talking about using Refactor > Extract to Method. No matter what I try, Extract to Method is greyed out in the Editor menu, or, if I try with right click on selected code it just making clicking notification sound... If I run app in simulator it works fine, but my understanding is that Refactor is important part of Swift, so I guess it would be nice if it would work.
I'm using Xcode 12.5.1 on Big Sur 11.5.1
I also tried uninstall / install Xcode, and even tried with the latest beta and nothing different.
Code I have is the following:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet var lightButton: UIButton!
var lightOn = true
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
lightOn.toggle()
if lightOn {
view.backgroundColor = .white
}
else
{
view.backgroundColor = .black
}
}
}
Instructions are to highlight:
lightOn.toggle() if lightOn { view.backgroundColor = .white } else { view.backgroundColor = .black }
And use Refactor > Extract to Method from the Editor menu. That is greyed out. I tried to select more code, but same result...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Claude
Thanks for your help. Tried everything and nothing... Then I tried the same exercise on my MacBook and it worked. So I found an article on how to completely remove Xcode from the computer. Did that and installed it again and now it works great on my iMac too. So it was completely issue with my computer.
Anyway, thanks for your help again - I appreciate it
