I am trying to achieve to basic pattern. >From business objects defined as message in a proto file, I would like to generate some additional messages to handle CRUD operations.
Eg my test.proto file contains: message TestObject { option messageType = BO; required string message = 1; } I am fighting with the generator code in order to generate directly the following message: message CreateTestObject { required TestObject object = 1; } The problem is for importing my proto file. If I add the dependency, the file cannot be loaded. Maybe I am missing how to set up the dependency path in the generator. I am using the follwing main: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { google::protobuf::compiler::CommandLineInterface cli; vpmsproto::compiler::JavaGenerator java_generator; cli.RegisterGenerator("--java_out", &java_generator, "Generate Java source and header."); return cli.Run(argc, argv); } And in my generator, I do the following: bool Generate(const FileDescriptor* file, const string& parameter, compiler::OutputDirectory* output_directory, string* error) const { ... DescriptorPool pool; FileDescriptorProto proto = FileDescriptorProto(); proto.set_name("testEric"); proto.add_dependency("test.proto"); ... const FileDescriptor* newFile = pool.BuildFile(proto); ... I have the following error: libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:2222] Invalid proto descriptor for file "testEric": libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:2225] testEric: Import "test.proto" has not been loaded. Am I missing something? Is there a more efficient to achive my goal? Thanks in advance for your help.
