Renaming class with the `Rename Also File With the Declaration` option ends with an error

[r-man]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 15

What happened

When I try to rename the class name and the file, NB first renames the file and then gives me the error "File seems no longer valid!"

How to reproduce

1. Create php class
2. Try rename class name
3. In rename dialog check Rename Also File With the Declaration option

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 14

Confirmed still happens. Hard to isolate. Sometimes happens, sometimes not. Mostly for newly created classes, not yet referenced from other files.

The issue dissapears once the "reference" gets created. For example:

$o = new myclass(); $o->some_method();

Then click some_method and use navigate to the declaration. Since then, the myclass file can be refactored without issues.

Also after the issue occurs, there still appears the old file (before rename) in the list of files (sorry cannot recall where ATM) but it disappears from the above list after netbeans close-open. The point is, the issue leaves the reference of the old file somewhere until app restart.

yes, as said before, sometimes happens, sometimes not, not sure but seems to be related to the size of project or number of project files
