Entity Is Part Of Cyclic Dependency

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

Such an issue is detected whenever a schema entity is directly involved in/part of/causing a cyclic dependency within the schema.

An example:

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

The difference to the semantic issue Cyclic Dependencies Present is that an entity that an issue of type SemanticIssueType.PART_OF_CYCLIC_DEPENDENCY is created for actively causes the cyclic dependency/is part of it.

Issues Example

This is the same example shown as in Cyclic Dependencies Present, but here only the issue type SemanticIssueType.PART_OF_CYCLIC_DEPENDENCY is highlighted in the schema.
