VSCode errors when refactoring JavaScript to new file
Type: Bug
I was trying to copy some JavaScript functions to a new file using Refactor. I clicked Move to file and got the following notification:
<semantic> TypeScript Server Error (5.6.2)
Debug Failure. False expression: No interactive refactor arguments available

This happens when I use Move to existing file, not Move to new file.

We need a way to reproduce the issue in order to investigate. Thanks!
When I select the following code in a javascript file and I refactor it (Move to file -> new file path), I get the issue
async function writeSvgFilesFromData(jsonData) {
const iconsJson = getIconsJson()
for (const [name, data] of Object.entries(jsonData)) {
newIcons.push(name)
let optimized = optimize(data.icon, svgoConfig).data;
strokeColors.forEach((color) => {
optimized = optimized.replaceAll(color, 'currentColor');
});
try {
const fn = rename.kebabCase(name.trim())
writeFileSync(
resolve(outDir, `${fn}.svg`),
optimized
)
} catch (e) {
console.log(ansiColors.red('Error making files:'));
throw e
}
if (name.endsWith(' Variable')) {
variableIcons.push(name)
}
iconsJson[name] = data
}
const formatted = await prettierFormat(iconsJson)
writeFileSync(iconsJsonPath, formatted)
}
What I just realised: Is it just because I'm using functions from my file in the script (e.g. getIconsJson())? I feel like it should automatically do something about it like add an export though.
@ProCode-Software It sounds like you are entering a file path to a file that is not created yet? (maybe @mjbvz @navya9singh will have more info)
I think only move to new file has the capability to create new files, though you may be able to move it to a new file using the second option below. Since you are using an older version of VSCode, your problem may be fixed if you update your VSCode
Easy repro with TS 5.8.3:
- Try to move this to a new file https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/2e2ca2d8570891f63e1ca6bac2914a6b3ca1e0e3/src/vs/workbench/contrib/mcp/browser/mcpCommands.ts#L748
- Get this error
