Description
**Operating System**:
`Windows` or `MacOS`
Docker containers with mounted volumes on Windows or macOS hosts.
**DocFX Version Used**:
docfx 2.56.6.0
**Template used**:
`default`
**Steps to Reproduce**:
1. checkout the sample project that repro the issue from here - https://github.com/farcasclaudiu/docfx_conflict
2. build project (dotnet build) - should succeed
3. run `docfx ./docfx_project/docfx.json --force --debug` command
It fails.
**Expected Behavior**:
to generate the apidoc _site without any error.
**Actual Behavior**:
error in command line:
`[20-12-04 01:01:31.963]Error:[BuildCommand.BuildCore.Build Document.LinkPhaseHandlerWithIncremental.Apply Templates](api/docfx_conflict.yml)Error transforming model "/var/folders/87/y9_3c0qn76g9wlzzg5m8fsl40000gn/T/docfx/rawmodel/api/docfx_conflict.raw.json" generated from "api/docfx_conflict.yml" using "ManagedReference.html.primary.js". Error running Transform function inside template preprocessor: type is undefined`
**Cause of the error**
The error message is not very helpful unfortunately.
The error is caused because in the project coexist a namespace (`docfx_conflict.member`) and a class (`docfx_conflict.Member`) and docfx generated yaml metadata files for both of these, but the OS filesystem is case insensitive. One will be overwritten I guess.
Any idea?
