protoc-gen-go：找不到程序或不可执行

Question

I am trying to build a sample app with go grpc but I am unable to generate the code using "protoc"

Have installed the required libraries/go packages using:

1. go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
2. go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

Have tried setting the path as well but no luck.

Sample "proto" file:

syntax = "proto3";

package greet;
option go_package="greetpb";

service GreetService{}

Error Message: "protoc-gen-go: program not found or is not executable --go_out: protoc-gen-go: Plugin failed with status code 1."

Answer 1

Resolved by following the steps:

Install go library using: go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}

1. vim ~/.bash_profile
2. Add: "export GO_PATH=~/go" &, "export PATH=$PATH:/$GO_PATH/bin"
3. source ~/.bash_profile
