Diagnostics

[Desdaemon]

Reuse the completion mechanism to provide diagnostics.

• Non-existent fields on models
• Invalid mapped access
• Non-existent XML records
• Incorrect use of constrains (no dotted access)
• Non-existent method name passed to compute=
• Field used in compute method but not listed in @api.depends

Usability issues:

• Incremental diagnostics
  • Calculate damage zone
  • Separate update-independent AST nodes from dependent ones

I was looking at this one, made a base implementation. but while testing, I got the scenario where I use fields in the computed method that I don't want to have in the depends.

at first I though about adding a comment to ignore some fields. but I dont like that. Do you had any thought on it?

Yeah a lot of things have changed since then and I think it's no longer good advice to add everything into depends.
