Help users with duplicate copy_to_bin actions

[alexeagle]

I put a tags=["requires-network"] on a js_test. Turns out the entry_point is a source file, so it gets copy_to_bin_action, but another test in that package had the same entry_point, and that had different execution requirements on the copy_to_bin_action and so it wasn't a duplicate action.

 ERROR: file 'examples/assert_lockfile_up_to_date/assert_lockfile_frozen.js' is generated by these conflicting actions:

seems pretty subtle and I don't know immediately what we could do to make it better.

Is there any current guidance for getting around this issue? I'm currently running into this as well.

I am also rubbing up against this. Unfortunately rules_js essentially demands that the source tree be structured a certain way, so you cannot solve this by trying to move one of the conflicting targets to a separate directory.
