Could not make proto path relative: protos/*.proto: No such file or directory

[pcimring]

Hi

I'm something of a newcomer to gRPC in general, as well as this plugin and Docker :)

I downloaded the Docker image to my MacBook (as per the Readme) and attempted to start it:

docker run pseudomuto/protoc-gen-do

But I get:

Could not make proto path relative: protos/*.proto: No such file or directory

Any advice? Am I missing something here?

Thanks

I have the same issue with Mac.

@pcimring @ismailseyfi The trick is to mount your files to a place inside the docker container you're running using the -v flag. So, assuming I'm in a directory with some file.proto:

❯$ ls 
file.proto

I'd run this:

docker run --rm -v ./docs:/out -v ./:/protos pseudomuto/protoc-gen-doc

... to generate docs in the ./docs subdirectory, like this:

❯$ tree 
.
├── doc
│   ├── index.html
└── file.proto

Hope it helps

If my .proto file is not in the same directory (because our project’s proto file directory corresponds to the package), and there is an uncertain hierarchical directory structure, how should I modify this command?
