Rename an undefined variable

[qaisjp]

Input

→ View on sorbet.run

puts({repo: pr.repo, author: pr.author})

Press F2 on pr and type pull_ctx in the rename prompt.

Observed output

In Visual Studio Code, I get:

The `<no-method>` method cannot be renamed.

Expected behavior

The rename should work.

Instead, I have to add a pr = nil, then rename pr, and then delete the new line.

While the feature request is admirable, I worry that there's no convenient way to implement this in Sorbet. I'm happy for someone to prove me wrong, but I would not hold out hope for this to get fixed soon.

It's worth noting that TypeScript doesn't appear to implement this feature either.
