import aliases generate unused error regardless of being used.

[ta3pks]

When you import Something.Something as Something my ide always produces an error saying Something is unused

Expected Behavior

No warnings produced

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. install Ale plugin for neovim
2. set linter back-end to elm_ls :let b:ale_linters = ['elm_ls']<cr>
   3.enable Ale if disabled :ALEEnable
   4.run the linter :ALELint

Context

I jump errors using various keybindings one of which is used to jump to the first error or warning and this issue is a huge productivity problem, in this case, reporting a false warning.

Your Environment

• Editor used:neovim
• Environment name and version (e.g. node.js 5.4): node.js v12.14.1

These are generated by elm-analyze, can you run that tool normally and check if you get the same output?

[ta3pks]

Yes, elm-analyse definitely reports that one

Are you sure your using it? I would be very surprised, if you were the first one to get this error. I think the code has been unchanged for quiet some time. Anyway, you will need to raise that problem with elm-analyze then https://github.com/stil4m/elm-analyse

I'll close this for now.

I did an npm install -g elm-analyse then ran elm-analyse on my project root.
Is there anything else to it ?

My question was, if your sure your using Api in your file? If you remove as Api from import Api.Api as Api, does your code still compile?
