Ability to skip module path segments

[joaquin041]

Hello! First of all, great library :)

I started using it to autodiscover some routes in my project, but I found that there is no way of having file paths and modules that are not directly hanging from "src" or "tests". In my case, I am trying to specify the path like this: #[utoipauto(paths = "(./src/lib/bin/module from crate::bin)"]

And the modules that are getting resolved are like: crate::lib::bin::module::etc

So I am getting a "could not find 'lib' in 'bin'" error. Which is expected, because 'lib' doesn't exist as a module. I would expect that if I am able to specify the module that the file is in, the module file path would be resolved in that module. So it would look like: crate::bin::module::etc -> removing "lib" as we know that the module starts in "bin", same thing that is done with "src"

Does that make sense? Or there's something I am missing? Thank you for your time.

Tried solving it in https://github.com/ProbablyClem/utoipauto/pull/31

I don't get it.

Shouldn't the from keyword indicate that its from another crate but using crate:: syntax symbols that it's in the same crate?

[joaquin041]

Exactly, what I am trying to indicate with crate:: is that even if it is in the same crate, it is not living in the assumed "src" folder. Ideally, with the path would be enough, but there is not always a direct translation between path and crate.

I believe that this comment https://github.com/ProbablyClem/utoipauto/blob/main/utoipauto-core/src/file_utils.rs#L79 explains it. This assumption is not always true. Modules can live in other folders that are not "src", and by using the crate name it can be inferred.

Ah okay understand it now.
