Searching package for comment content

Hi, all.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I would like to be able to do a quick text search in all classes and methods in a package for text.

for instance, when i see an opportunity for a refactor, i put a comment something like:

"TODO: break this method apart here"

and move on..

it would be great if i could quickly find all methods in my package that contain the text "TODO" in a comment somewhere.

Thanks!

You can just add

self flag: #TODO. “do this complex thing later…"

search for senders of TODO -> list of everything.

Or add the description as the argument to #flag:

self flag ‘TODO: break this method apart here’.

Or you can add

<todo: 'fix me'>

and then search for methods using the pragma todo:

Hi Sergio,

use the finder, write TODO in the search area, select Source instead of Selectors, and you're set.

I always do:

self flag: #todo. “An explanation here”

probably not the best… but works.

you can even use a nautilus plugin that shows you the list of all the
flag: method in a package.
