`insert` & `update_partial` not found

[holmofy]

insert and update_partial are not public, and this method will not be found when called under another package.

// src/model/account_user.rs
use super::enums::ProductEdition;
use chrono::NaiveDateTime;
use ormlite::{model::*, Result};

#[derive(Clone, Debug, Model)]
#[ormlite(table = "account_user")]
pub struct AccountUser {
    #[ormlite(primary_key)]
    pub id: Option<i64>,
    pub created: NaiveDateTime,
    pub modified: NaiveDateTime,
    pub edition: ProductEdition,
    pub name: String,
    pub email: String,
    pub passwd: String,
    pub locked: bool,
    pub last_login: String,
}

// src/app/user.rs
...
#[post("/")]
async fn register(
    state: web::Data<AppState>,
    ip_addr: Option<web::ReqData<IpAddr>>,
    body: Json<RegisterDTO>,
) -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    let mut db = &state.db;
    let exists = AccountUser::exists_by_email(&db, body.email.as_str()).await?;

    if exists {
        return Err(error::ErrorBadRequest("email exists").into());
    }

    let mut success = AccountUser {
        id: None,
        locked: false,
        edition: ProductEdition::L0,
        email: body.email,
        name: body.name,
        passwd: body.passwd,
        last_login: ip_addr.unwrap().to_string(),
        created: Local::now().naive_local(),
        modified: Local::now().naive_local(),
    }
    .insert(&mut db) // insert not found
    .await?;

    return Ok(HttpResponse::Ok().json("success"));
}

The error is as follows:

no method named `update_partial` found for struct `AccountUser` in the current scope
items from traits can only be used if the trait is in scope

no method named `insert` found for struct `AccountUser` in the current scope
items from traits can only be used if the trait is in scope

I can find this method by calling it in the same file as account_user.rs, so I guess the method generated by the macro is not public

The methods are public. It appears the issue you're running into is the second part of that error message: items from traits can only be used if the trait is in scope.

In account_user.rs, you've imported ormlite::model::*, which contains the Model (& other) traits, so you have access to those methods. In user.rs, you haven't.

In fact, while trait (pub trait $NAME) can be tagged as public or not, methods within them do not take visibility modifiers. You can think of all methods as being public.

If I misunderstood, please reply with additional detail and I'll re-open the issue.

I ran into this with "No method named _id found for ..." and changing to

use ormlite::model::*

Fixed it! Thank you.

Maybe we could add this to the docs?

Happy to add that. Would you mind making a PR for where it should be included?
