missing changed storage info when compiling multiple classes

[dkutac]

Type: Bug

when compiling a class which inherits from other classes, sometimes it is possible that compilation modifies storage of those other classes. However, these changes are not sent back from IRIS server to local files, thus a discrepancy occurs between local files and their server copies. This behaviour is leading to issues when using GIT (or other source control) and deployment of changes to other IRIS server(s) as compilation on those other servers may generate different storage changes to dependent classes.

@dkutac This has always been the behavior. The extension only loads changes for the files that have been compiled, not any "related" documents. I'm not sure what we can realistically do about this. There are a few questions that would have to be answered for any file that was compiled:

1. What non-Generated files may have changed due to to the compilation of this file?
2. Did any of those files actually change?
3. Do those files need to be recompiled for those changes to take effect before the changes can be exported?

The Atelier APIs that we use for compilation do return an array of documents updated by the compile, so this should be possible. @dkutac If would appreciate it if you could send me a few test classes on here or internally so I can work on this.

I'll talk to customer who initiated this and get some test classes in next couple days.

@dkutac In VSC:

1. Add some property to ClassA.
2. Compile ClassP with flags ckb
3. Classes Class1 and Class2 don't have good storage in locale file storage but i can see god storage on Cache server side

Thanks, I will take a look.
