E3505 Template Reference Cycle
Umple semantic error raised when a template reference causes a cycle
A template reference cannot be used in a cyclically referring way, creating an indirect
reference to itself. The issue might come from a flaw in the templates' design.
Example
//The error arises as temp refers
//to temp3, referring to temp2, which
//causes a cycle due to temp2 referring
//to temp
class A {
temp <<! <<@temp3>> !>>
temp2 <<! <<@temp>> !>>
temp3 <<! <<@temp2>> !>>
emit method()(temp);
}
Load the above code into UmpleOnline
Solution to The Above So the Message No Longer Appears
//There is no longer a cycle,
//the error is resolved
class A {
temp <<! <<@temp3>> !>>
temp2 <<! <<@temp>> !>>
temp3 <<! output !>>
emit method()(temp);
}
