With: https://codereview.chromium.org/22825024/ You'll get an error if you try to add a dependency on a package with the same name as your own package. That should help you avoid this confusing situation. You can still end up in a confusing (but intentionally supported state) if you have an indirect dependency on yourself, but we need that use case to work. |

OK, this seems obvious in hindsight, but I should've seen a better error/warning.
In Dart Editor I created a little app to test web_ui, named the app web_ui (duh!), and then (not editing the boilerplate code a bit) got this error message:
Unable to open file: /Users/kathyw/dart/web_ui/packages/web_ui/component_build.dart'file:///Users/kathyw/dart/web_ui/build.dart': Error: line 2 pos 1: library handler failed
import 'package:web_ui/component_build.dart';
^
Looking in packages, I saw browser, js, and meta, but not web_ui. I tried
pub installon the command line, and it happily executed without a single error message or warning.Apparently, pub install can't/doesn't get web_ui if your app is named web_ui. I assume this is true for any package that has the same name as the app.
Pub install (and/or the editor) should give you a warning about this. If this behavior is technically correct, the message could just be something like: Didn't download web_ui package because this app is named web_ui.
