Cannot build program that imports external modules with sudo #5877

Closed serkonda7 closed 4 years ago

serkonda7 commented 4 years ago

V version: V 0.1.28 1114fd2 OS: Manjaro

What did you do? Run sudo v symlinker.v to build my program that imports etienne_napoleone.chalk. Same behaviour is with any other module installed from vpm.

What did you expect to see? Successful build

What did you see instead? builder error: cannot import module "etienne_napoleone.chalk" (not found)

It does work, however the module must be installed using sudo too. The user directory when using sudo is /root by default, thus modules must be installed in /root/.vmodules.
