PR Analysis

• 🎯 Main theme: Renaming 'points' to 'cells' in the discretisedfield package
• 📝 PR summary: This PR involves a significant renaming operation across multiple files in the discretisedfield package. The term 'points' has been replaced with 'cells', which has led to changes in variable names, function names, and comments.
• 📌 Type of PR: Refactoring
• 🧪 Relevant tests added: No
• ⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]: 2, because the PR involves a straightforward renaming operation, but it spans across multiple files and functions, which requires some time to review.
• 🔒 Security concerns: No security concerns found

PR Feedback

• 💡 General suggestions: The renaming operation seems to be consistent across all the files. However, it would be beneficial to add a brief explanation in the PR description about why this renaming was necessary, and how it improves the codebase. This will help reviewers and future contributors understand the rationale behind this change. Also, it would be good to ensure that all related documentation is updated to reflect this change.

• 🤖 Code feedback:

  • relevant file: discretisedfield/mesh.py
    suggestion: Consider adding a deprecation warning for the 'points' attribute to guide users towards the new 'cells' attribute. This can be done by re-adding a 'points' property that returns the 'cells' attribute and raises a DeprecationWarning. [important]
    relevant line: '+ def cells(self):'

  • relevant file: discretisedfield/field.py
    suggestion: Ensure that the renaming of 'points' to 'cells' does not affect any external dependencies or break any interfaces that might be expecting the 'points' attribute. [medium]
    relevant line: '+ if len(coords := getattr(self.mesh.cells, dim)) > 1'

Should we add a deprecation warning for the 'points' attribute to guide users towards the new 'cells' attribute by re-adding the points property that returns the cells attribute and raises a DeprecationWarning as the bot says? @samjrholt @lang-m

Should we add a deprecation warning for the 'points' attribute to guide users towards the new 'cells' attribute by re-adding the points property that returns the cells attribute and raises a DeprecationWarning as the bot says? @samjrholt @lang-m

I would be in favour of using DeprecationWarning in general as it makes it easier for the users to transition.

[lang-m]

I would re-add points to make the transition easier. What we could consider however is raising an AttributeError with a meaningful message that points to cells (instead of just the warning). That is what we did for most breaking changes in the previous release. This is of course quite harsh but forces quick adoption of the new interface. Thoughts (also @fangohr)?
