F2 "Rename failed to apply edits" for variables

[reidhannaford]

What is the current behavior?

Using F2 to rename variables in VS Code fails.

Please provide the steps to reproduce, and if possible a minimal demo of the problem:

I've managed to reproduce 2 types of error messages by trying different things:

1. If I select the variable name without the $ and try to rename, I get a red error that states "Rename failed to apply edits"
2. If I select the whole variable including the $ and try to rename, I get a blue error that says "Cannot read properties of undefined reading "error""

Screenshots of both errors attached.

There was nothing in the debug console in VS Code or problems in the workspace – just these little error pop ups.

This happens every time I try to rename a variable.

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to be able to rename the variable across the solution.

Please tell us about your environment:

• Yarn Spinner Version: 2.2.1
• Extension Version: v2.2.15
• Unity Version: 2021.3.7f1
• VS Code Version: 1.69.

Confirmed that this error is happening in the extension as of v2.2.62, but I wasn't able to reproduce this specific error:

If I select the whole variable including the $ and try to rename, I get a blue error that says "Cannot read properties of undefined reading "error""

(I can confirm that renaming variables isn't working, just this specific error didn't appear for me when I was trying to reproduce.)
