Import module from src directory in elm-repl

[Julian]

Hi!

I just started working on my first elm app after a year or so of lurking the elm community.

I have written a few functions and put them into a module located in my `src` directory and everything compiles fine. But when I start elm-repl from the root of my project (where the `elm-stuff` folder is located, I'm unable to load my module...

If I cd into the `src` folder before running the repl, it seems it is able to import my module (by typing `import MyModule` but it complains about not being able to find the dependencies (which is located in `../elm-stuff/`).

Any ideas on how I can run my module in the repl?

Thanks!

Have a look at elm-package.json. It lists the source directories, and probably had . instead of ./src.

My elm-package.json has the following entry:

    ...
    "source-directories": [
        "src"
    ],
    ...

and my directory looks like this (minus elm-stuff folder in the root)

.
├── build
│   └── MyModule.js
├── elm-package.json
├── index.html
└── src
    └── MyModule.elm

and I try to launch elm-repl from the root with no parameters. In the repl I try to import with `import MyModule` which reports:

elm-make: elm-stuff/build-artifacts/0.17.0/user/project/1.0.0/Repl.elmo: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Three questions:

1. What happens if you run

rm -rf elm-stuff/build-artifacts

And then try elm-repl again?

2. Would you mind sharing your entire elm-package.json?

3. Is 0.17 the only version of Elm you have installed?

I wasn't able to reproduce your problem, so I am just trying to get more info.

Hi Nick!

I got curious when you said that you couldn't reproduce the problem so I tried to do the same in another folder, and I was unable to reproduce the problem as well. After spending some time in my main project, removing lines to narrow down the problem, I managed to get my main project to work with the repl! I'm still not sure what broke and why, but it seems it got fixed when I removed the elm-stuff folder. I suppose there were some cache somewhere screwing with the repl :/

Thank you all for trying to help!
