Issue: failure to run with combinedDependencies: true on a monorepo

[asfaltboy]

Expected Behavior

I'm using yarn workspaces, and I expect it to work out of the box

Current Behavior

whenever I turn on the combinedDependencies: true option, I get an error

ERROR: Extracting dependencies ran afoul of...

pWorkspace.endsWith is not a function
... in e2e/playwright.config.ts

Without the option it runs ok, but reports packages as missing, where they are specified at the top level workspace package.json file

Possible Solution

I would love to see a more descriptive error, and ideally it would just work...

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a yarn workspaces project
2. Add number of packages in different locations
3. Run depcruise --init wizard, choose the defaults
4. Set the option combinedDependencies: true
5. Run depcruise .

Context

Just trying dependency-cruiser out, as an alternative to circular dependency lint rule of eslint-plugin-import (see rule definition of import/no-cycle)

I would also accept a workaround that disables the missing dependency check, if circular deps can be checked independently.

IRL I've seen this happen when dependency-cruiser is run not in the root of the monorepo but instead in one of its sub folders (workaround then typically: run from the root).

Labeled as bug because dependency-cruiser either (1) needs to behave or (2) explain what's going on.
