Check for Circular Dependencies

Install and run circular dependency check across packages:

 npm -g install madge && cd $DENDRON_REPO_ROOT/packages/ && madge --circular --extensions ts .

Run after installation

cd $DENDRON_REPO_ROOT/packages/ && madge --circular --extensions ts .

Identifying circular dependencies introduced by a PR

madges output is a bit too unstable to diff against something when trying to identify what circular dependency was introduced by a PR. Adding some postprocessing helps in that case:

git checkout master
madge --circular --extensions ts . | tail -n +2 | sed -r 's/^[0-9]+\) *(.*)$/\1/' | sort > MADGE_BEFORE_PR
git checkout branch-for-PR
madge --circular --extensions ts . | tail -n +2 | sed -r 's/^[0-9]+\) *(.*)$/\1/' | sort > MADGE_AFTER_PR
diff MADGE_BEFORE_PR MADGE_AFTER_PR
