The exported model doesn't contain all nodes

[mpostol]

Describe the bug

Not all nodes are recognized following references starting from the selected to export nodes. Some nodes are not members of the complex types. Additionally, some nodes may be duplicated if they are targeted by many references.

To Reproduce

Analyze the result of UAObjectTypeTestMethod and recover the DI model

Tasks

• selects all the nodes belonging to the namespace chosen and create a dictionary AllNodesInConcern
• during exporting using an existing algorithm remove exported nodes from the AllNodesInConcern
• export the nodes that have been not removed
• Add one method AddorReturnNodeFactory with parameter key of int type
• Add key generator in case AddNodeFactory is used or there is a key conflict
• Move abstract implementation from validator to the modedel factory

Additional context

It contributes to:

• NetworkIdentifier is missing in generated Model Design for DI model #629
• NetworkIdentifier is missing in generated Model Design for DI model UA-Nodeset#51

@eoursel let me inform you that I have created a new more general issue to fix reported by your one. It is not only a problem with DI. The problem must be investigated using dedicated Unit Tests but not the whole model. I will get back to the reported issue after fixing this.

Hi @mpostol Sorry for the late answer. i am aware that the DI is just an example. I took the DI because this is one of the model where OPC Foundation publishes the NodeSet format and the ModelDesign format. Most of the new companion specifications do not contain the ModelDesign format. I am currently interested by the IEC61850 companion specification more than the DI. If you have already done the translation to ModelDesign for IEC61850 let me know. Nice weekend.

Hi @eoursel. We are still working on recovering ModelDesign for all available models using the current version of the asp. Check out the folders ModelDesign added to all models in the repository mpostol/UA-Nodeset.

Models have been generated thanks to @mertyusaatag contribution. He is working on an independent fork:

mertyusaatag/UA-Nodeset

The final results are proposed by him as pr to my repository.

I have just checked that the model you requested is not created for some reason😒. I have notified @mertyusaatag by adding a comment to the appropriate issue.: mertyusaatag/UA-Nodeset#11. It was already closed so the problem needs investigation. He promised to investigate the problem in detail next week.

BTW let me stress that the current version of the asp (ASP 6.5.0-Kilo) still has the problem with adding all nodes to the recovered model. The problem is more complex than I expected previously. One of the problems is that models are not stable and even if the modification is unimportant it is hard to handle it during recovering ModelDesign while removing the inheritance chain. I still believe that it is possible but need time and motivation to fix it. Anyway, the workaround is to add just a few nodes if any manually to the ModelDesigne in the meantime.
I will try to mitigate the problem by independent development of the mpostol/UA-ModelCompiler with the goal to add it to ASP and ASMD tools as a nugget package.
