Error code E0659
An item usage is ambiguous.
Erroneous code example:
pub mod moon { pub fn foo() {} } pub mod earth { pub fn foo() {} } mod collider { pub use crate::moon::*; pub use crate::earth::*; } fn main() { crate::collider::foo(); // ERROR: `foo` is ambiguous }
This error generally appears when two items with the same name are imported into
a module. Here, the foo
functions are imported and reexported from the
collider
module and therefore, when we're using collider::foo()
, both
functions collide.
To solve this error, the best solution is generally to keep the path before the item when using it. Example:
pub mod moon { pub fn foo() {} } pub mod earth { pub fn foo() {} } mod collider { pub use crate::moon; pub use crate::earth; } fn main() { crate::collider::moon::foo(); // ok! crate::collider::earth::foo(); // ok! }
