Creating tests in separate directory
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-09-13 👤 surdeus 👁️ 12So I have a module I am creating called: "etimer_unix"
I created it with 'cargo new --lib etimer_unix'
The Cargo.toml file has an entry like this:
[package]
name="etimer_unix"
I have src directory where I have my implementation
I have a file called src/lib.rs, and it contains 1 function declared as follows:
#[allow(non_snake_case)]
pub extern "C" fn ETIMER_getNow() -> u32 {
// implementation details omitted
return 42;
}
I have a test directory where I have my separate test files.
I have a file named: tests/test_get_now.rs which has this:
use std::{thread,time};
use ETIMER_UNIX::*; /* WHAT SHOULD THIS BE??? */
#[test]
fn test_getnow_msecs() // cspell: words getnow, mess
{
let start = ETIMER_getNow(); // cspell: words ETIMER
// and other things committed here
}
When I build the module using "cargo build" - it builds with no warnings
When I try to build for test, ie: 'cargo test' I get the error:
error[E0432]: unresolved import `ETIMER_UNIX'
I have tried the capitalization schemes none of these work.
I think the problem is in my 'test_get_now.rs' I need to import the DUT module but that's not working and I'm evidently doing it wrong.
The closest example I can find is this - but this is as if the test is using some other module, not the current active module
