Is there a way to find all overrides of a PsiMethod?

I am developing a plugin for Intellij IDEA 2018.2+.

I need to find all overrides for a given method. I tried searching among various PsiUtilclasses to find overrides of:

  • PsiMethod
  • PsiClass- to later manually scan methods of overriding class to find whether there are some overriding methods

and yet no luck.

So overall - what is the simpliest way to find all overrides of a given PsiMethod?

Solution

  • Just found an excerpt from PSI Cookbook:

    How do I find the methods overriding a specific method?

    OverridingMethodsSearch.search()

    And for class:

    How do I find all inheritors of a class?

    ClassInheritorsSearch.search()
