get dependency template: %w

Error message

get dependency template: %w

What it means

Wrap from generateDependencyFiles when rendering an individual dependency's code files fails — typically template execution or goimports processing for that dependency's schema. Aborts generation of the remaining dependency files.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped error for the failing dependency/template
2. Validate the dependency's schema and generated import paths
3. Ensure the go toolchain/goimports is available for import resolution
