I believe that the problem is that there is no package for toBulkString to
be in. utils is a top-level module and is not in a package. Now, arguably it
should be an error to use the package attribute in such a module rather than
giving an error when you try and use it, but I'm pretty sure that that's the
source of your problem. If utils were actually in a package, then it should
work.

Hi,

for following coding there is an error during compilation:

  module utils;

  package string toBulkString(string s)
  {
  import std.string: format;
  return "$%s\r\n%s\r\n".format(s.length, s);
  }

  unittest
  {
  string actual = "foobar".toBulkString();
  //...
  }

source\utils.d(11,39): Error: function utils.toBulkString is 
not accessible from module utils


The error disappears if I change the visibility attribute from 
package to private.

This seems to be a bug, is it?

Hi,

for following coding there is an error during compilation:

  module utils;

  package string toBulkString(string s)
  {
  import std.string: format;
  return "$%s\r\n%s\r\n".format(s.length, s);
  }

  unittest
  {
  string actual = "foobar".toBulkString();
  //...
  }

source\utils.d(11,39): Error: function utils.toBulkString is 
not accessible from module utils


The error disappears if I change the visibility attribute from 
package to private.

This seems to be a bug, is it?
