unable to unload module when importing all from the module

Error description

I import a module via box::use, and I've confirmed that this module has been loaded search()
but when I try to reload this module, I got a error saying object “mesc_stem_heatmap_common” not found

sorry, I think this may be a by-design feature, do I need to close this bug report and file a feature request?

Indeed, this is by design: box::use(foo/bar[...]) attaches the exported names but does not create a module alias bar. If you want to create the alias, you will need to do so explicitly (box::use(bar = foo/bar[...])); in your case:

box::use(mesc_stem_heatmap_common = ./helpers/mesc_stem_heatmap_common[...])

If you’re using box::unload during development, you may be interested in the work in progress auto-reload functionality (#246).
