Rust Not Found Errors
Rust's file not found for module and unresolved import errors are compile-time issues. At runtime, std::io::ErrorKind::NotFound appears when files or resources are missing.
Module Not Found
// Error: file not found for module `utils`
// Rust expects either:
// src/utils.rs
// OR
// src/utils/mod.rs
// In main.rs or lib.rs:
mod utils; // Looks for src/utils.rs or src/utils/mod.rs
// For nested modules:
mod models {
mod user; // Looks for src/models/user.rs
}Unresolved Import
// Error: unresolved import `serde`
// Fix: add to Cargo.toml
// [dependencies]
// serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]

For small files, embed them in the binary:
const CONFIG: &str = include_str!("../config.toml");
const LOGO: &[u8] = include_bytes!("../assets/logo.png");Bugsly captures Rust panics and error results with full backtraces, including io::Error with the file path that caused the failure.
