Using __MODULE__ in nested modules

If I have nested modules is it possible to use the syntax __MODULE__ in the submodule? I’m getting an error that says “cannot access struct RootModule …” when I have something like this:

defmodule RootModule do 
  defmodule SubModule do 
    defstruct [:foo, :bar]
    
    @spec new() :: %__MODULE__{}
    def new() do 
      %__MODULE__{}
    end 
  end
end

Marked As Solved

ah criminy. different typo. I had inserted a wayward end somewhere above the function definition so the submodule was “closed” and the function was being defined in the root module. derp.
