How to port error_chain to 2018?

help
1

Here is a library (that does nothing) that works:
Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "test15"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["me"]

[profile.release]
codegen-units = 1

[dependencies]
error-chain = "*"

src\lib.rs:

#![recursion_limit = "1024"]

#[macro_use] extern crate error_chain;

pub mod errors { // Other modules: use errors::*;
    error_chain!{}
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    #[test]
    fn it_works() {
        assert_eq!(2 + 2, 4);
    }
}

This builds fine.

But when I try it using 2018 (I'm using 1.31.1 througout on Linux 64) I get an error (shown at the end)
Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "test18"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["me"]
edition = "2018"

[profile.release]
codegen-units = 1

[dependencies]
error-chain = "*"

src\lib.rs

#![recursion_limit = "1024"]

use error_chain::error_chain;
use error_chain::error_chain_processing;
use error_chain::impl_error_chain_processed;
use error_chain::impl_error_chain_kind;
use error_chain::impl_extract_backtrace;

pub mod errors { // Other modules: use errors::*;
    error_chain!{}
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    #[test]
    fn it_works() {
        assert_eq!(2 + 2, 4);
    }
}

Error:

error: Could not compile `test18`.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to use error_chain::/* whatever */ inside mod errors in order to make the macros available.

Thank you! I got rid of all the top-level use error_chain::* items and just had the one use error_chain::{error_chain, ...}; as you suggested and now it builds fine. I'll now try it with real applications!
