Topic: Internal package imports fail in tarball package?

Ian McLerran (Apr 26 2024 at 19:56):

So I just tried publishing a package on Github via hashed tarball. I tried importing the package via Roc's package downloading functionality, but it seems every expect statement used in my package internals is throwing a MODULE NOT IMPORTED error.

IE: ── MODULE NOT IMPORTED in ...nv2LpABZzVYHlata79rpfaF_bJaxsbYMLtk-mF_w/Time.roc ─

What did I do wrong here?

Luke Boswell (Apr 26 2024 at 20:13):

Im not sure, I haven't seen that before.

I use @Hannes Github Action which has been working nicely https://github.com/Hasnep/bundle-roc-library

Luke Boswell (Apr 26 2024 at 20:14):

Which module is it saying isn't imported?

Luke Boswell (Apr 26 2024 at 20:15):

How did you make the hashed tarball? Did you use roc build --bundle .tar.br package/main.roc?

Ian McLerran (Apr 26 2024 at 20:17):

I also used Hannes' hasnep/bundle-roc-library

Pretty much all of them lol

Ian McLerran (Apr 26 2024 at 20:17):

I've got 111 errors I believe, and they're all pretty much the same, but various Modules in various locations. All at expect statements.

── MODULE NOT IMPORTED in ...nv2LpABZzVYHlata79rpfaF_bJaxsbYMLtk-mF_w/Time.roc ─
The `UtcTime` module is not imported:

350│  expect toUtcTime { hour: 12, minute: 34, second: 56, nanosecond: 5 } == UtcTime.fromNanosSinceMidnight (12 * nanosPerHour + 34 * nanosPerMinute + 56 * nanosPerSecond + 5 )
                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean to import it?

I was really hoping this was just a case of obvious PEBCAK! :sweat_smile:

QQ: Anyone know where the default download directory is for packages roc downloads from a url?

Agus Zubiaga (Apr 27 2024 at 01:18):

This is likely caused by #5477, which will be fixed when #6658 lands.

For now, you can try importing the modules in your app even if you don’t use them directly.

Agus Zubiaga (Apr 27 2024 at 01:19):

The example in the issue involves two packages, but it can happen with only one package

~/.cache/roc/packages/

Awesome, thanks @Agus Zubiaga and @Brendan Hansknecht!
