Service being generated but not client protoc

I am using protoc to try and generate a client / server for my gRPC service.

I have the following in my make file

stripe:
    @protoc --go_out=. pkg/proto/stripe/service.proto

My proto file is

syntax = "proto3";
package grpc;
option go_package = "pkg/proto/stripe/";

service Stripe {
  rpc UpdateVerification(UpdateVerificationRequest) returns (UpdateVerificationResponse);
}

message UpdateVerificationRequest {
  string id = 1;
}

message UpdateVerificationResponse {
}

When I run make stripe it generates a service.pb.go but there is no interface or client generated.

Is this something I am missing in the generation CLI command?

Solution

  • Try adding go-grpc_out, as example:

    protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=.   pkg/proto/stripe/service.proto

    Will generate also the service_grpc.pb.go file in the same dir of the proto

    As suggested in the quickstart giude, the full command could be:

    protoc --go_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative \
    --go-grpc_out=. --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative \
    pkg/proto/stripe/service.proto
