I recently started breaking up my Candid file into smaller files to make it more manageable.

For example, I moved everything related to Canistergeek to candid/canistergeek.did and now do import "canistergeek.did"; in candid/codebase.did.

My candid_interface_compatibility test (similar to this one) supports this, and now also my ic-repl tests (thanks to @chenyan2002 and dfinity/ic-repl#50)

However, dfx generate now fails.

I tried the following:

dfx generate --verbose codebase_backend

I expected to see this happen:

Generating type declarations for canister codebase_backend:
  frontend/declarations/codebase_backend/codebase_backend.did.js

Instead, this happened:

Error: (BFailed while trying to generate type declarations for 'codebase_backend'.
Caused by: (BFailed while trying to generate type declarations for 'codebase_backend'.
  Candid file check failed for frontend/declarations/codebase_backend/codebase_backend.did.
    Cannot import "canistergeek.did"
