Issue
When running dune runtest on a file that is not a test, dune hints
even though the user just gave
<file>
.Fix
This stems from a deeper issue with
User_message.did_you_mean
which accepts hints that are identical to the original name. It doesn't make sense to give a "did you mean" hint in the case they are identical, so we check that the Levenshtein distance is greater than 0.This removes the useless "did you mean" as observed in the tests.
We will improve the error message in a follow up PR.
