Previously, when there was a reactive object in the prototype chain of a
different object, it would get notified of the first write to a property
that existed on the reactive object but did not yet exist on the other
object, despite the value of that property not actually getting written
to the reactive and hence the value not getting changed.
This was caused by the fact that we assumed that Reflect.set would set
the value on the target, when in fact, the value is set on the object
that underlies the `receiver`. When a reactive object is part of the
prototype chain, the first write on a key triggers the set trap but the
receiver is not the reactive object, and so Reflect.set doesn't modify
the target, but adds the new key to the object that's lower in the
prototype chain.
This commit fixes that by actually reading the value from the target
instead of assuming that it was changed by Reflect.set
This commit also removes the special symbols SKIP and TARGET, as there
is no reliable way to check whether these keys are present on the object
itself or on its prototype chain, which can cause issue when trying to
create reactive objects from objects with other reactive objects in
their prototype chain, or to create reactive objects from objects with
non-reactive objects in their prototype chain. To solve this problem, we
simply use a WeakMap that maps reactives to their targets, and a WeakSet
that contains all skipped objects.
We have been using this type in o-spreadsheet since https://github.com/odoo/o-spreadsheet/pull/1187
but the new typing file (https://github.com/odoo/owl/pull/1207) does not include it.
It would be useful to allow us to bump or version of owl witouht having to resort
to long aboslute paths (i.e. import from `@odoo/owl`and not
`@odoo/owl/dist/types/runtime/component@ everywhere).
This commit makes all errors thrown in owl use a custom error class. The
main point of this is to always wrap user-code errors that happen during
the owl lifecycle so that they can be treated uniformly in onError by
checking the cause property, and also allows user code to differenciate
owl errors from non-owl errors reliably at runtime.
