Description

I'm getting the following error when I run my buildDocs script:

.../resolver/findExportedComponentDefinition.js:107
throw new Error(ERROR_MULTIPLE_DEFINITIONS)

This error still occurs even after I add the resolver option:

--resolver  findAllExportedComponentDefinitions

I have seen a previous issue with the similar problem here: https://github.com/reactjs/react-docgen/issues/213

I have multiple exports for Redux connected components for ease of testing.

And as more background info, my application utilizes TypeScript, React, and Redux. I am using react-docgen v5.0.0-beta.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the buildDocs script and the resolver option findAllExportedComponentDefinitions. Inspect resolver/findExportedComponentDefinition.js around line 107 and compare the behavior with the related issue #213. Done means multiple Redux-connected component exports no longer produce the multiple-definitions error when the alternate resolver is selected.
