DependsOn resource syntax error not detected

[christoph-buente]

Version: 0.3.11

What happened:

I created a catalog-info.yml file with a service that declared a dependency on a resource. However, I had a syntax error in it and backstage actually complained about it when importing. However, the validator did not.

The mistake I made was writing this:

spec:
  type: service
  lifecycle: production
  owner: team-name
  dependsOn:
    - resource/default:kinesis-stream # wrong
    - resource:default/kinesis-stream # correct

Expected behavior:

I would expect the same error message that backstage gives:
Entity reference "resource/default:kinesis-stream" had missing or empty kind (e.g. did not start with "component:" or similar)
