| ^^^^^^^^^^ not a moduleReal output of rustc 1.99.0 compiling the official example below (2021 edition). Your names and line numbers will differ; the first line is the part to match.
The compiler team's explanation
Something other than a module was found in visibility scope.
Erroneous code example:
pub enum Sea {}
pub (in crate::Sea) struct Shark; // error!
fn main() {}
Sea is not a module, therefore it is invalid to use it in a visibility path. To fix this error we need to ensure sea is a module.
Please note that the visibility scope can only be applied on ancestors!
pub mod sea {
pub (in crate::sea) struct Shark; // ok!
}
fn main() {}From rustc --explain E0577 (1.99.0), part of the Rust project, MIT or Apache-2.0. Official page.
