Multiple modules with names that only differ in casing warning

[5amfung]

I got a bunch of warning when I run ng serve. I'm using

angular: rc5
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2
firebase: 3.3.0
angularfire2: 2.0.0-beta.3-pre2
npm: 3.10.7

WARNING in ./~/angularfire2/angularfire2.js
There are multiple modules with names that only differ in casing.
This can lead to unexpected behavior when compiling on a filesystem with other case-semantic.
Use equal casing. Compare these module identifiers:
* /Users/foo/src/new-word/node_modules/source-map-loader/index.js!/Users/foo/src/new-word/node_modules/Angularfire2/angularfire2.js
    Used by 1 module(s), i. e.

Does angularfire2 not work nicely with webpack version of angular-cli?

@5amfung I haven't ran into any issues with Webpack and AF2 yet.

Do those warnings affect your app, or are the benign?

[5amfung]

Doesn't seem to be a problem with beta 4.

I'm having this problem too, oddly with a slightly different version of the name (mine is angularFire2 and angularfire2 while yours is Angularfire2 and angularfire2). It started out of nowhere after I had been developing for a while and now I have about 3 pages of warnings

Doesn't seem to be affecting the app but it's a lot of noise in the console, which impedes debugging. Has anyone come across a fix?

Could be worth noting that it cropped up shortly after opening files from a similar project in vsCode, while I had the folder of my current project open, and copying some content into my local files. No idea why this would create a problem in the angularFire2 files...

[Methodician]

Found the fix!
I had import statements in some files with:

import { AngularFireStuff } from 'angularFire2';

and in other files with

import { AngularFireStuff } from 'angularfire2';

Note that Fire was capitalized in the first one and fire was not capitalized in the second. They were both valid import statements but resulted in the warning when I wasn't being consistent.

It is very strange that, for me, this happens only when i build with windows power shell envrionment.
When i use git-bash environment to build, no such strange case info displayed

[kidsit]

Also only happen in following scenario: install the npm module with windows power shell, but run build in git bash , or vice versa

@Methodician solution solved the issue. Thanks :)
