devspace deploy stuck waiting for dependency due to circular dependency

[Andrioden]

What happened?

A complex dependency chain is stucking devspace deploy. Running devspace deploy --sequential-dependencies works. My guess is your dependency resolving code has a bug.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Everything is deployed in any order devspace chooses. We dont care about the order, just that i happens.

How can we reproduce the bug?

We have a rather complex dependency hierarchy, i will try my best to simplify it. We have multiple code repos, which depend on each other through their respective devspace.yaml files.

Files

I run devspace deploy in the context of hn-personvern:

PS C:\...\HN-Personvern> devspace deploy

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: 6.2.3
• Operating System: windows
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64 Kubernetes Cluster:
• Cloud Provider: local kind
• Kubernetes Version: v1.25.2

Anything else we need to know?

the devspace deploy flag --sequential-dependencies is not documented here, i found it watching your release notes. I suggest you update the docs.

For similar dependency hierarchies (not the one above), changing the order to having hn-sts last also solves the problem.

Hello @Andrioden ! Thanks for reporting this issue, we fixed the problem with PR #2492 and this will be released in the next patch release for DevSpace
