Allow setting the option --proto_path about idea-plugin-protobuf HOT 11 OPEN

Just for reference, from https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto?hl=en:

The protocol compiler searches for imported files in a set of directories specified on the protocol compiler command line using the -I/--proto_path flag. If no flag was given, it looks in the directory in which the compiler was invoked. In general you should set the --proto_path flag to the root of your project and use fully qualified names for all imports.

I agree with mwtaylor.
It's legitimate to specify more than one path using the -I/--proto_path flag. A use case for this is if you need to import google/protobuf/descriptor.proto in order to create custom options and don't want to put the protocol compiler in your project.

this is also a problem for us. In our project, we're grouping .proto files into folders. When building the project, we build with the proto_path set to the root proto folder, but the plugin always uses the current directory, so it's not possible to get the paths right in the import statement so that both build.

+1. This creates problems when grouping the .proto files based on package hierarchy.

This was added at the project level by Boris Byk. Thanks, Boris!

Hi, if I got this right, it seems this feature is completed... Would it be possible to make a release so this would be available (without having to do a local build)? Thanks a lot!

It has been a month, can we release this fix onto IntelliJ plugin repo please?

from idea-plugin-protobuf.

There's a release in progress. When the other issues targeted for that release are resolved, we'll ship a new plugin version.
