'Xcode 11.5 Rename Refactor failed when trying to rename variable
When I try to re-name any variable, Xcode give me the following error:
I have tried restarting Xcode but the same thing happens. Any ideas how to fix?
Solution 1:[1]
I just had this issue with Xcode 11.6 and I solved it like this:
- Close Xcode
- Delete all contents of the DerivedData folder (located in
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData)
And thats it! When I reopened Xcode it let me use the rename feature.
Solution 2:[2]
My experience is that this due to Xcode's (very poor) git integration. When I turn off git integration, the rename works fine.
Solution 3:[3]
For me in general a simple restart (or restart the mac) resolves this problem, but when I use version control (e.g. git + github, azure) sometimes I have to make a commit (and maybe a push) in order to make everything works. After these steps I can always refactor the things.

A quick and safe solution :
- Close Xcode
- Open Terminal and execute
cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedDatawhich will list all your projects - Execute
rm -rf {PROJECT_NAME}-*replace the PROJECT_NAME with the corresponding project that you're working on. - Re-open your application.
