> A local binding shadows an imported name.

A warning from the `resolve` phase. `sakura explain W1002` prints this explanation offline.

A local binding shadows an imported name. This is allowed but often a mistake; rename one.

Warning:

```sakura
import std/retry.{retry}
let retry = 3
```

Fixed:

```sakura
let max_attempts = 3
```

## Wrong program [#wrong-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/W1002_shadowed_import.sakura`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/master/compiler/tests/ui/W1002_shadowed_import.sakura), which the compiler's ui suite runs through `sakura check`:

```sakura
import std/retry.{retry}

fn attempts() -> Int {
  let retry = 3
  retry
}
```

`sakura check --json` reports this record (pretty-printed; `$DIR` is the fixture's directory):

## Fixed program [#fixed-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/W1002_shadowed_import.fixed.sakura`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/master/compiler/tests/ui/W1002_shadowed_import.fixed.sakura), which `sakura check` accepts with no diagnostics:

```sakura
import std/retry.{retry}

fn attempts() -> Int {
  let max_attempts = 3
  max_attempts
}
```
