How to persist graphs presenting circular references in Voyage?

Question

I'm having an issue I don't recall having had about half a year ago when trying out Voyage.

In my schema, a User has an instVar referencing all the Centers he belongs to, and a Center has an instVar referencing all of its Users, so when the Voyage serializer tries to serialize a user (or a center), it goes into an infinite loop trying to find the end of the reference chain and the image clogs.

I remember saving the exact same schema a while ago without a problem, is there something new I should know about?

BTW, I'm using the #bleedingEdge version, with Magritte3 and all.

Thanks! :)

I tried to reproduce your problem and it works fine in my example. What I did is this:

You have a Star, who has Planets, who at it's time points to the owner Star.

Star new 
    name: 'Sun';
    position: 10@12;
    addPlanet: (Planet new 
        name: 'Earth';
        orbit: 3;
        yourself);
    save

Both possible combinations works for me:

Star class>>#isVoyageRoot
    ^ true
Planet class>>#isVoyageRoot
    ^ true

and:

Star class>>#isVoyageRoot
    ^ true
Planet class>>#isVoyageRoot
    ^ false

So... I don't know where is your error :(
