Update our version of pylint to use the latest version and update the
codebase to comply with the majority of the updates.
For now disable the additional checks for `super-with-arguments`,
`useless-object-inheritance`, `raise-missing-from`, `no-else-raise`,
`no-else-break`, `no-else-continue` to be consistent with the existing
codebase.
Allow specifying a ConfigutationPoint is deprecated. This means that any
supplied configuration will not be used however execution will continue
with a warning displayed to the user.
Move cleanup_assets from Workload up into TargetedPlugin. This way,
Instruments may also utilize it if they deploy assets.
More generally, it makes sense for it to be inside TargetedPlugin, as
any plugin that interacts with the target may conceivably need to clean
up.
- Add copyright headers to files that did not already have them
- Update the year to the last year the file was modified in files with
existing headers.
When scanning modules for plugins, only consider classes defined in that
module, but not those imported into it. This will prevent log output
being polluted with repeated "Skipping..." messages for imported plugin
bases.
Remove wa.framework.plugin.Artifact and associated references. The name
of the class clashes with the class from output and can potentially
cause confusion.
The original intention for this was to be an "expected artifact
descriptor" of sorts that plugins can specify for validation purposes,
but that functionality was never implemented. Given that the framework
has undergone significant changes since this was implemented, it's not
clear that this is the best way to go about the original goal.
Therefore remove this for now.
WA2 Extensions had two features that have proven more trouble then they
are worth, and so they were removed from WA3 Plugins:
- Virtual methods (methods that automatically invoked super's version
without having to explicitly do that).
- It used to be possible to use strings or tuples to specify parameters
for extensions, and those were automatically "promoted" to Parameter
instances by the metaclass. This feature was never actually used.
This commit cleans up residual code for these features from Plugin
implementations and removes tests that used to exercise them.
- Fixed up some of the signal map for instrumentation
- Changed how priorites are specified -- no longer method name prefixes
but dedicated decorators, including an easy way of specifying a custom
priority level (no longer need to manually connect signals)
- Updated ExecutionTimeInstrument to work with the new system
- Also removed some dead code
Changing the way target descriptions work from a static mapping to
something that is dynamically generated and is extensible via plugins.
Also moving core target implementation stuff under "framework".
