Hello, I'm following the instructions given here https://grpc.io/docs/quickstart/go/ to get started with GRPC in Go.
To install the Protocol Buffers v3, it is mentioned in the above link that the pre-compiled binaries for your platform can be downloaded, extracted and added to the PATH. I picked the protoc-3.9.0-linux-x86-arch_64.zip. Following this I installed the protoc plugin for Go using the command go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go Output of the protoc --version : libprotoc 3.9.0 In my .proto file I specify the syntax as proto3 and then compile it to generate the .pb.go file which has a below compile time assertion in it. // This is a compile-time assertion to ensure that this generated file // is compatible with the proto package it is being compiled against. // A compilation error at this line likely means your copy of the // proto package needs to be updated. const _ = proto.ProtoPackageIsVersion3 // please upgrade the proto package When I use the .pb.go file in another project the compilation fails pointing to this very same error so proto package needs to be updated. But, I don't understand why is an update needed when already the latest version is installed? Could someone please clarify this problem?
