Cyclic Dependencies Present

This issue type is denoted by the type SemanticIssueType.CYCLIC_DEPENDENCIES_PRESENT.

Such an issue is detected whenever a schema entity references another entity that is directly part of/causing a cyclic dependency.

An example:

• (a) Feature flag F1 references segment S1. (contains a cyclic dependency)
• (b) Segment S1 references segment S2.
• (c) Segment S2 references segment S1. (back to (b), cyclic dependency)

The difference to the semantic issue Entity Part Of Cyclic Dependency is that an entity an issue of type SemanticIssueType.CYCLIC_DEPENDENCIES_PRESENT is created for does not directly cause the cyclic dependencies, but only "contains" one.

Issues Example

This is the same example shown as in Entity Part Of Cyclic Dependency, but here only the issue type SemanticIssueType.CYCLIC_DEPENDENCIES_PRESENT is highlighted in the schema.
