F# Subfolder Error

Question

If I add two subfolders with the same name in an F# project I get this error:

The folder strucure is:

  <ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="Test\File1.fs" />
    <Compile Include="SubFolder\Test\File2.fs" />
  </ItemGroup>

Does anyone know a work around?

Answer 1

Make sure you dont have in your project

<ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="Folder1\File1.fs" />
    <Compile Include="SubFolder\Test\File2.fs" />
    <Compile Include="Folder1\another.fs" />
</ItemGroup>

but instead

<ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="Folder1\File1.fs" />
    <Compile Include="Folder1\another.fs" />
    <Compile Include="SubFolder\Test\File2.fs" />
</ItemGroup>

(contiguous folders mentions)
