Rename failed - it also renamed the parent folders.

[jeffward01]

I have a directory structure of this:

• targetDirectory/mySolution.sln
• targetDirectory/LibMain/lib/MyProject.RemoveThis.csproj

When I perform the project rename command:

renamproject MyProject.RemoveThis MyProject

It completes successfully... However the issue is that it also renames the parent directory:

• targetDirectory/LibMain/MyProject/MyProject.csproj

The lib parent directory is changed to the name of the project, which in this case is MyProject

Current:

• Original Path: * targetDirectory/LibMain/lib/MyProject.RemoveThis.csproj
• After Rename Path: * targetDirectory/LibMain/MyProject/MyProject.csproj

Expected:

• Original Path: * targetDirectory/LibMain/lib/MyProject.RemoveThis.csproj
• After Rename Path: * targetDirectory/LibMain/lib/MyProject.csproj

Thanks

this is per design - see the readme:

This tool takes care of this for you, provided your use-case follows a set of fairly common practices:
[...]
your csproj files have the same name as the folder in which they reside together with accompanying source code

that being said, one could add an option that tells renamer to not expect said convention - I'm open for a PR :-)

@jeffward01 I converted this to a discussion, so it's under discussions now rather than under issues
