Better error when forward refs exist, OR, don't require ordered resources (In biueprints)
Description of problem
Today, a blueprint with a resource that contains a forward source/image/config/deployment resource reference will fail with
failed to interpolate map value: ....... evaluate: failed to find results: <image|url|config|etc...> not found
this occurs because the template context for the output is never fulfilled.
Proposed solution
Proposed Solution 1, Error:
Given I make a forward ref in my supply chain
When I submit the supply chain
Then My supply chain is rejected
And I see a message describing the forward reference in detail
Proposed Solution 2, support forward refs:
Given I make a forward ref in my supply chain
When I submit the supply chain
Then my supply chain is accepted and just works
In this scenario we:
- validate that the supply chain has no circular refs in the graph (orphans and disconnected graphs are fine) (returning an error if we do have a circular graph)
- use a stack method to process all the resources until the stack is exhausted (no longer emitting new outputs or empty)
