Why
Before this PR, if a field was
CASCADE_DELETE_INVALIDATE_CACHE
deletion behavior it wouldn't run transitive triggers even though the underlying reference would be deleted by the database foreign key.This fixes that by doing all recursing through the delete method and just not deleting from the database if a boolean flag is specified. While I'm normally against boolean flags, because this is a private internal method I'm more okay with it.
Concretely the case this fixes is:
Entity A has field
b_id
with behavior CASCADE_DELETE_INVALIDATE_CACHE referencing an Entity B.Entity B has a trigger that runs during or after deletion (including afterCommit).
Previously B's triggers wouldn't be run. Now they are run.
Test Plan
Run tests. This is very extensively tested so the fact that no test changes were needed is reassuring.
