Compile error when classes in different modules have the same name

[Chriscbr]

I tried this:

// main.w
bring "./foo.w" as foo;
bring "./bar.w" as bar;

assert(foo.Util.foo() == "foo");
assert(bar.Util.bar() == "bar");

// foo.w
class Util {
  static foo(): str {
    return "foo";
  }
}

// bar.w
class Util {
  static bar(): str {
    return "bar";
  }
}

This happened:

error: Cannot add two files with the same name: ./inflight.Util.js

I expected this:

It compiles

Is there a workaround?

Give the classes different names

Component

Compiler

Wing Version

0.24.47

Node.js Version

No response

Platform(s)

MacOS

Anything else?

The JSifier needs to emit inflight clients in a way so that classes with the same name still get different generated names. For example, the file stem could be used to distinguish the names like inflight.foo-Util.js and inflight.bar-Util.js, or an incrementing number could be used.

Looks like this issue also pops up with inflight closures. For example:

// file1.w
bring "./file2.w" as file2;

class Foo {
  init() {
    let x = inflight () => {};
  }
}

// file2.w
class B {
  init() {
    let x = inflight () => {};
  }
}

throws the error:

error: Cannot add two files with the same name: ./inflight.$Closure1.js
