hi there, I'm having trouble with building Docker images where I have multiple files of the same filename but in different paths, does anybody know if this is a bug?

Hi <@U01FZLYT727> I’m not sure I follow what you’re attempting to do. Could you post a reproducible example?

hey <@UL2EX9Y8N> I've attached a screenshot
I'm adding files that have the same name but reside in different folders (`__init__.py` would appear multiple times for modules) but here I'm using `flow.py` instead of `__init__.py` for brevity

Hmm that’s interesting, could be a bug. If you give your two flow files different names does it work by any chance?

yup if I give it different filenames it works

ok I've gone through the function and determined that the problem lies with it using only the filename during copy -- perhaps using the full path with separators replaced by underscores will fix the problem

in the meantime, it seems that the files parameter also supports taking entire directories (which should fix this issue)
