[Bug 1381891] [NEW] Setting invalid widget attribute does not raise exception

 

Public bug reported:

Suppose I do:

PreviewWidget desc("summary_col", "text");
desc.add_attribute_value("test", Variant("This is the text for the widget"));

Did you spot the error? The attribute being set is "test", but it should
be "text". There is no indication that I'm doing something impossible,
and I'm left scratching my head why nothing renders.

It might be better to raise InvalidArgumentException here?
