Sp-dev-docs: Error creating web part named 'Web part' using generator v1.3.4

Created on 1 Nov 2017 · 2Comments · Source: SharePoint/sp-dev-docs

Expected or Desired Behavior

Be able to scaffold a web part no matter its name.

Observed Behavior

When creating web part named 'Web part', the generator scaffolds broken files. When you try to build the project, you get the following error:

Error - typescript - src/webparts/WebPart.ts(10,13): error TS1005: '=' expected.

This is caused by the following (invalid) file tree (notice missing file names in the SCSS and TSX files):

src/
|____webparts
| |____components
| | |____.module.scss
| | |____.tsx
| | |____IProps.ts
| |____loc
| | |____en-us.js
| | |____mystrings.d.ts
| |____test
| | |____WebPart.test.ts
| |____WebPart.manifest.json
| |____WebPart.ts

Steps to Reproduce

create new project
add web part
name the web part Web part
gulp bundle
💥
