Add custom filter field which is not model field

[0xSullivan]

Hey I was using an old version of django-filter and I added some non-model fields for filtering. for example for user I added a name filter with custom method which concats first_name and last_name and filter both of them but there is no name field in the User model. After I updated to the latest version I faced this error:

TypeError: 'Meta.fields' must not contain non-model field names: name

I checked the codes and I found out this error happen here. in the comment it say warn if the field doesn't exist. but it actually raise a TypeError in line 349

I think it's better to make it a REAL warning instead a ERROR

Can you provide a minimal reproduce please, as it's not possible to see what's going on from the information given so far.

A sample filter/model that replicates this:

class Profile(models.Model):
    location = models.CharField(_("location"), max_length=30)
    organization = models.CharField(_("organization"), max_length=30)
    title = models.CharField(_("title"), max_length=30)

class ProfileFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    search = django_filters.CharFilter(label="search", method="search")

    def search(self, queryset, name, value):
        return queryset

    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ("location", "organization", "title", "search")

The intent here would be that search isn't attached directly to the model, but appears in the fields list.

Ug duplicate name error. Just name your filter something different than your method.
