can not FindMessage from linked files about protoreflect HOT 2 CLOSED

@TeavenX, this is working as intended. The FindMessage method of *desc.FileDescriptor searches only the given file for the message. It does not search its imports.

You could recursively crawl through the files imports (and their imports possibly -- depending on if you want to search the entire transitive graph or not) and call FindMessage on each one to find it.

Also, the protoparse package has been effectively replaced by protocompile. I'm working on a v2 of this repo and it will not included protoparse; users should instead migrate to the protocompile module.

In the protocompile module, what you're looking for does in fact exist: you can use linker.ResolverFromFile on one of the linker.File instances returned from compilation. That will find any symbol that is visible to the file. So, in your example, the symbol B.MsgInB is visible to A.proto because it imports B.proto, so it would successfully find the symbol.

Thanks for reply, that helps a lot. For now, I define a dfs func to search transitive graph to find Message. And I will switch this package to protocompile next time, cause of the project ddl🤦
