No animation name autocomplete for AnimationPlayer in base script

Godot version

4.1.1.stable, master[7ba79d68bd0f97797d7cb37452da6a036ba7c7c9]

System information

Arch Linux

Issue description

When an AnimationPlayer onready variable is created in the base script, autocomplete in a derived script won't show animations added in the derived scene.

See "steps to reproduce" for detail.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a BaseScene
   • Add an AnimationPlayer node inside
   • Create a script for the root node, and create a onready variable animation_player for the AnimationPlayer node
2. Create a DerivedScene, inheriting from BaseScene
   • Create a new animation "foo" in the AnimationPlayer
   • Extend the root script
3. In the extended script, type animation_player.play(
   • Expected: show "foo" in the completion prompt
   • Actual: nothing is show

If the onready variable is defined in the extended script instead of in the base script, then everything works fine.

This is a known bug.

You have to do something like:

var animation_player := $AnimationPlayer

instead of

var animation_player: AnimationPlayer = $AnimationPlayer for the animation names to show in auto-complete. Not sure why this happens though... hope it gets fixed!
