Add two methods that are local to tests, `registerNodeDesc` and
`unregisterNodeDesc`, which handle the registration and unregistration
of `NodePlugins` from a node description. This reduces the amount of
code in tests whenever `NodePlugin` need to be instantiated prior
to their registration and so on.
This prevents ambiguities between `NodePlugin` objects that have been
registered (and are thus instantiable) and those that belong to `Plugin`
objects but have not been registered.
* Deserialization: Replace the logic that defaulted the node type version to "0.0" when unspecified,
and assume that unspecified version on a node is targetting current node type version.
* Serialization: Only serialize node type versions for which a version info is available.
* Test suites:
* Add helper context manager to manually override the version of a given node type.
* Add new unit tests to cover version conflicts handling is various scenarios.
At the end of the deserialization process, solve node uid conflicts iteratively by node depths,
and only replace the conflicting nodes with a CompatibilityNode.
Add new test suite for testing uid conflict handling.
* add 'matchDescription' method on desc.Attribute.
* desc.ListAttribute/desc.GroupAttribute: 'matchDescription' ensure that value perfectly match element/group description. Enable recursive checking for child attributes.
* nodeFactory: detect DescriptionConflicts in pre-process pass by checking that serialized node's attributes perfectly match their descriptions
* CompatibilityNode.attributeDescFromNameAttribute: consider link expressions as valid values
* test_compatibility: more complete description conflicts unit testing
Improve node serialization/deserialization to be able to recreate the exact same node in the graph when loading a meshroom project, even if the corresponding node's description has changed or does not exist anymore. This allows to recover already computed data on disk, without being impacted by changed uids. CompatibilityNode also provides an on-demand upgrade system to turn into a Node that meets the current node description (if possible).
* new abstract class BaseNode, base class for Node and CompatibiliyNode
* Node: serialize everything needed to spawn a CompatibilityNode with precomputed outputs: inputs, uids, parallelization settings, unresolved internal folders and outputs
* node_factory: handles node deserialization and compatibility issues to create either a Node or a CompatibilityNode
* add compatibility unit tests
