Description
This is hard to explain, so here is a reproducible example. The names of workspaces and modules were chosen to somewhat reflect the project I discovered this in. This was confirmed on version 10.1.2 and 11.0.1.
If you have 3 workspaces W_root, W_a, and W_b. W_root adds the two others as pinned dependencies. W_a and W_b both contain a dev directory with some module M. If W_a includes W_b as a dev dependency, then opens W_b, then W_b.M will collide with W_a.M when used.
Snippet from the example repo's output:

The module or file Config can't be found.
- If it's a third-party dependency:
- Did you add it to the "bs-dependencies" or "bs-dev-dependencies" in bsconfig.json?
- Did you include the file's directory to the "sources" in bsconfig.json?
Hint: Did you mean Config or Config?
What do I expect?
- I expect the modules in a
"type": "dev"directory to never collide when building a different project. - I expect the error message to be more helpful. Perhaps the hint should use the full module path:
Hint: Did you mean SrcHelpers.Config or TestHelpers.Config?(this wouldn't fix the problem, but would have made discovering the cause easier)
