The directory layout of the project should match the module hierarchy. bar
is a submodule of foo so it shouldn't live next to foo in the filesystem.
There are a couple of filesystem setups that will work:
src/
main.rs
foo/
mod.rs
bar.rs
src/
main.rs
foo/
mod.rs
bar/
mod.rs
The first configuration seems to be what most code uses. If bar ends up
having submodules of its own, it would need to move to the second setup.
