jthomas opened a new issue #111: Improve error message when resource name clashes.
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli/issues/111
 
 
   Action, trigger and rule names must be unique within a namespace and package. It could be confusing to a developer that you cannot create an action with a name, if a trigger or rule already exists with them identifier. 
   
   Here's the error message that gets returned if you try to do this....
   
   ```
   error: Unable to create action 'hello': Resource by this name exists but is not in this collection. (code 5000008)
   Run 'wsk --help' for usage.
   ```
   
   It would be helpful if the CLI could return the resource details ("Trigger with name ... already exists") to help users understand this issue.
   
   Alternatively, a more helpful error message ("Actions, rules and triggers share the same namespace, check for those resources with that name.").
