V: modules in subdirs cannot be imported

[amoyyy]

V version: 0.1.28 a8b0dfb
OS: ubuntu

What did you do?
I tried to compile a project in a directory like this:

     mymodule
          |__submodule1
               |__submodule1.v
          |__submodule2
               |__submodule2.v
          |__mymodule.v      
     test.v

in mymodule.v, submodules are imported :

module mymodule
import submodule1
import submodule2

pub fn test(){
    submodule1.test()
    submodule2.test()
} 

and test.v defines the main entry and call the mymodule.test()

What did you expect to see?
test() called correctly

What did you see instead?
A builder error suggests that cannot import module "submodule1" (not found)

import submodule1
import submodule2

Shouldn't it be this instead?

import mymodule.submodule1
import mymodule.submodule2

Right. In general, it is import <module>.<submodule> and imports always start at the base of the modules even if you're inside the module tree. At least that is my understanding.

@spaceface777 I see, that solves the problem. In my understanding, when compiling mymodule.v the root dir is changed which is not the case.

[spaceface777]

No, @JalonSolov is right, module lookup starts from the root level (or from wherever you have a v.mod file)

The current behavior makes sense to me, because this way imports do not have to be changed if a file is moved into a submodule.
