QML dependency/reuseability (static code) checker

Question

For the sake of writing re-useable QML code I am looking for a (static code) checker which can detect unwanted dependencies across different qml files.

To give an example where B.qml depends on identifiers from A.qml:

A.qml

Item {
    id: dependencyId
    ...
    delegate: B {}
}

B.qml

Item {
    id: delegateB
    ...
    text: dependencyId.text
}

As the text element of B.qml depends on a identifier from A.qml, this code cannot be reused properly.

As long as the id of Item in A.qml won't change, this code would compile/run, and thus the dependency will not be noticed. I tried QmlLint, but this gives no errors.

Are there static code checkers for QML available which can check this?

Answer 1

Added a custom build step in the sourceDirectory running qmlscene for each *.qml file, filtering results only on "reference" errors.

Thanks derM for the tip on using qmlscene.

Command: find

Arguments: . -name '*.qml' -exec qmlscene --quit {} \; 2>&1 | grep -rnis 'reference'

Working directory: %{sourceDir}

Screenshot:

(2>&1 is needed to parse stderr, which is where the error messages are being displayed)
