Failed to apply `type` on enum

[zonyitoo]

mod test_mod {
    enum A {
        Foo,
    }
}

type Alias = test_mod::A;

let _v = Alias::Foo; // Compile error

I changed your code to this so it would compile at all:

mod test_mod {
   enum A {
        Foo,
    }
}

type Alias = test_mod::A;

fn main () {
    let _v = Alias::Foo; // Compile error
}

(You needed a main function)

It seems like the alias is doing fine, but it can't find Foo. Odd.

I'd like to work on this, but I'm not sure where in the codebase to look. Can someone tell me?

[zonyitoo]

@ChristopherDumas Hmm, I just omitted the main function. The error is just what you said, it can't find Foo.

[jonas-schievink]

The type alias itself is correctly rejected if you remove the let binding, but with the let binding you get no associated item named Foofound for typetest_mod::A in the current scope. Looks like the order in which these are checked should be reversed (if this is even possible).

Possible duplicate of #26264

Ah yes, looks to be a dupe of #26264 indeed!
