2277 :: importing in subdirectories

• matkuki (orginal) [2016-05-24T10:51:36+02:00] view original

  My directory structure:

  main_directory:

  main.nim

  helper.nim

  sub_directory_1:

  sub_module_1.nim

  sub_directory_2:

  sub_module_2.nim

  In the sub_module_1 and sub_module_2 modules there is this statement:

  import helper
  Run

  When compiling 'nim c main.nim' in the main_directory this works, but it feels kind of odd for the sub_modules to be able to reach the helper module one directory above theirs implicitly.

  Is is better to write:

  import "../helper"
  Run

  in the sub_modules or should the modules/directories be restructured in some way?

  Just an FYI.

  The above code does NOT work with Nim 0.14.0 anymore! The imports now have to be explicit, like the 'import "../helper"' above.

  Thanks for clearing this up.
