The shipped dependency-cycles file fails a rules run on a cycle

outcome

Execute the cycle findings by naming the shipped dependency-cycles file as a rules file over a corpus with one cycle.

assumptions

• The world writes a probe corpus of two story-altitude behavior Specs, each stating idea with an Intent outcome and each declaring dependsOn on the other, which the Protocol's validators find clean. It runs sdp validate on the probe root with dist/recipes/26-dependency-cycles.js named by --rules and no --params, which the addresses none names. The findings are the corpus findings the run prints, and the rule ids are their rule ids joined by a comma and a space.

Examples

Given a probe corpus in which {corpus: "two Specs depend on each other through dependsOn"}
Given the caller passes the addresses {addresses: "none"}
When the shipped {recipe: "dependency cycles"} file runs {invocation: "as a rules file named by sdp validate --rules"}
Then the command exits {exitCode: 1}
Then the answer carries {findings: 1} findings with the rule ids {ruleIds: "dependency-cycle"}
