using protobuild with multiple generator

[Tommy-42]

Hello,

I was wondering if protobuild could actually be able to be used with more than 1 generator ?

I can't use both go_out and grpc-gateway_out that I normaly use with protoc command line.
I have to do 2 .toml right ?

I can't find anything on this topic.

Should it be supported ?
Is it on a TODO ?

Best regards,
Thanks for the awesome job tho !

I have think about it.

Could we think about something like this :

[[generator]]
  name = "gotemplate"

  [generator.options]
    debug = true
    template_dir = "."

[[generator]]
  name = "gogo"

  [generator.options]
    debug = true

  [generator.plugins]
    ["grpc", "blabla"]

Hey @stevvooe

I have forked an done something that might interest you, could you have a look and tell me if it can work for you ? ( that should resolve #15 and #17 )

What I need to change, etc before pushing a PR ?

Thanks

Can you do this with overrides?

[stevvooe]

Is your proposal backwards compatible?

[alshabib]

It cannot be done with overrides because in some (or most) cases you want to apply two or more generators to the same proto files.

@Tommy-42 suggestion looks god provided it is backwards compatible.

The workaround I am using for now in two config files and running protobuild twice using the -f option.

[stevvooe]

@Tommy-42 I guess send a pull request. Make sure there are examples of how the output gets generated, along with intermediary commands.

This could be addressed for supporting Google's latest Go code generator. It doesn't support gRPC plugin anymore.

It should be possible now, like

protobuild/v2.toml

Line 3 in 7e5ee24

generators = ["go", "go-grpc"]
