no-ambiguous-path
Overview

Templated paths should not lead to an ambiguous resolution e.g. /{entity}/me and /books/{id} can result in the same path depending upon the values substituted and so are considered ambiguous.

Suggested Fixes
- If you are sure that the ambiguous templated paths are not likely to conflict with each other because of their possible substitution values, you may ignore this warning.
- If one of the ambiguous paths cover all information of the other path as well, consider removing one of the path definitions.
