Can I disable automocking for nested modules?

[apicize]

I would like to disable automocking for nested modules. The rationale is that I have a module that has public and private functions. I would like to test the private functions (and yes, I know there are religious wars about unit testing private functions, I fall into the camp of wanting to do that).

Ideally, I'd like to be able to do something like this:

#[cfg(test)]
use mockall::automock;

// Somehow annotate the following that I do not want to automock embedded modules
#[cfg_attr(test, automock)]
pub mod my_module {
   pub fn public_func() {}
   fn private_func() {}
   
   #[cfg(test)]
   mod tests {
       // tests both public and private modules
   }
}

That's an interesting request. Yes, it could be made to work. In the meantime, as a workaround you'll have to move the tests module out of the automocked module.
