digitalmars.D.learn - Specify an entire directory tree for string imports

- Alex Parrill (3/6) Mar 30 2015 Ok, glad to see it's a bug and not a (fairly limiting) feature.

I have a directory structure like this: . | test.d | \---test | test1.txt | \---subfolder test2.txt I am running test.d using this command: rdmd -Jtest test.d I can do `import("test1.txt")` from test.d successfully, however, `import("subfolder/test2.txt")` fails with the error `file "subfolder/test2.txt" cannot be found or not in a path specified with -J` I'm guessing that the -J option doesn't operate recursively, and that I'm not allowed to import files from `test/subfolder`. Is there a way to make the entire `test` directory tree available for string imports?

I might take a stab at fixing it, if it's not too hard.
