[api-documenter] namespace and interface with same name documents only the namespace

Open singpolyma opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Summary

I have an interface named mynamespace.Persistence and also a namespace with more classes mynamespace.persistence.Stuff the markdown files written in markdown mode all have lowercase names so these end up with the same name and I only end up with a file documenting the namespace not the interface. I get a link to what should be the interface documentation, but it's the same page as the namespace, having been (it seems) overwritten.

Repro steps

Have a namespace and interface with same names (different case).

npx @microsoft/api-extractor run -c npm/api-extractor.json npx @microsoft/api-documenter markdown -i tmp -o docs/js/
