Using __MODULE__ in nested modules

sorry see above re: typo. Thanks for helping.

Works for me:

$ iex
Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.7] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

Interactive Elixir (1.10.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> defmodule RootModule do 
...(1)>   defmodule SubModule do 
...(1)>     defstruct [:foo, :bar]
...(1)>     
...(1)>     @spec new() :: %__MODULE__{}
...(1)>     def new() do 
...(1)>       %__MODULE__{}
...(1)>     end 
...(1)>   end
...(1)> end
iex(2)> RootModule.SubModule.new
%RootModule.SubModule{bar: nil, foo: nil}

What versions of erlang and elixir are you using?

ah criminy. different typo. I had inserted a wayward end somewhere above the function definition so the submodule was “closed” and the function was being defined in the root module. derp.

works for me, with defstruct.

Sorry, that was just a typo here. In the actual code it was defstruct.

defstruct, not struct. =D
