Things to take up with Dash

[rubenthoms]

• Why does dash_generate_components create a copy of the package.json file and cannot use the one in the main directory?
  dash-generate-components ./dist webviz_core_components -p ../package.json =>

  File "/home/ruben/.local/bin/dash-generate-components", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "/home/ruben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dash/development/component_generator.py", line 204, in cli
    generate_components(
  File "/home/ruben/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dash/development/component_generator.py", line 71, in generate_components
    shutil.copyfile(
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/shutil.py", line 241, in copyfile
    raise SameFileError("{!r} and {!r} are the same file".format(src, dst))
shutil.SameFileError: 'package.json' and 'webviz_core_components/../package.json' are the same file

Another thing: E.g.
dash-generate-components ./dist ../webviz_core_components
would not work. The build step will pass, but during Dash app running the browser console will say it can't find namespace ../webviz_core_components. I.e. it looks like the second argument is assumed to be both a folder and what is used by Dash internally as namespace.
