I have these 2 entities that reference each other twice:

@Entity('contents')
export class Content extends BaseEntity {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
  id: string;

  @OneToOne(() => Folder, (folder) => folder.content, {
    nullable: true,
    eager: true,
    cascade: true,
  })
  folder?: Folder;

  @ManyToOne(() => Folder, (folder) => folder.contents)
  @JoinColumn([{ name: 'parentFolderId', referencedColumnName: 'id' }])
  parentFolder?: Folder;
}

@Entity('folders')
export class Folder extends BaseEntity {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
  id: string;

  @OneToMany(() => Content, (content) => content.parentFolder)
  contents: Content[];

  @OneToOne(() => Content, (content) => content.folder, {
    onDelete: 'CASCADE',
    orphanedRowAction: 'delete',
  })
  @JoinColumn([{ name: 'contentId', referencedColumnName: 'id' }])
  content: Content;
}

As you can see, there seems to be no circular dependency between those 2 entities. I made sure that the 2 properties aren't named the same so that TypeORM does not mix up, and I made sure each relationship is correctly defined on both sides.

However, when I try to save a Content entity, setting the folder property so that it's cascade inserted, I get a Cyclic dependency: Folder error. Does anyone know why ?
