I have the following modules:
Foo.Bar
Bar.Module
And I’d like to do this within a module:
alias Foo.Bar
alias Bar.Module
However I get (module Foo.Bar.Module is not available)
Is there a way to make that work?
Something like we’d do in ruby ::Bar.Module
to access it from the root.
Thanks
Maybe try to reverse order
alias Bar.Module
alias Foo.Bar
The problem with alias Foo.Bar is You are defining Bar as being Foo.Bar
That might not be a good idea to have 2 modules with the same name… (Foo.Bar and Bar)

Elixir.Bar.Module
is an equivalent. But yes, better to avoid conflicting names if possible.

Sounds good, thank you both for the advice!

It’s hacky, but I suspect if you reversed the order of your alias declarations, it might work
