Allen George commented on THRIFT-5071:
--------------------------------------

[frowns]

If I understand correctly, there are two problems:

# under {{edition = "2018"}} the rules for generating relative paths have 
changed. It used to be that you didn't have to specify a root for a relative 
path. Now one *has* to use {{self}},{{super}} or {{crate}}
# one can't place thrift files that are dependent on each other in an arbitrary 
directory structure, because the generated {{use ...}} declarations assume that 
all thrift files are in the same location

For the first situation, we can indeed solve it by adding {{crate}} to the 
{{use}} declaration; for example: {{use crate::MODULE_NAME}}, assuming that all 
generated files are in one level.

For the second situation, I *think* the problem is as follows. Consider:

{{noformat}}
root
+- common.thrift
+- dir1
    +- dependent_1_on_common.thrift
    +- ...
+- dir2
    +- dependent_2_on_common.thrift
    +- ...
{{noformat}}

The problem here is that the generated {{dependent_1_on_common.rs}} and 
{{dependent_2_on_common.rs}} all would have declarations like:

{{noformat}}

// Autogenerated by Thrift Compiler (0.14.0)
// DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

#![allow(unused_imports)]
#![allow(unused_extern_crates)]
#![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(too_many_arguments, 
type_complexity))]
#![cfg_attr(rustfmt, rustfmt_skip)]

use crate::common; <---- PROBLEMATIC LINE

...

{{noformat}}

that would obviously break because their location in the rust/filesystem module 
hierarchy is not reflected in the thrift-generated code. Assuming the compiler 
has the information, I *think* this would be solved by including the Thrift 
namespace of the *dependent* file in the generated {{use}} expressions in the 
*dependee*.

At any rate, this should be two tickets that are dealt with separately, and 
I'll create a separate ticket around the directory-structure issue.
