protoc generated file breaks code

[usama6naseer]

I am working on adding color-only steering to GoBGP ColorExtended (Flag field). I plan to make a pull request to merge with upstream, once done.

However, when I try to generate attribute.pb.go, using /tools/grpc/genproto.sh, the generated file is way different than original one (added below). I have also added env info below.

I even tried re-generating from the vanilla attribute.go (i.e., without any modifications) and the output is much different from the ground-truth attribute.pb.go.

`
[gobgp-3.24.0]$ protoc --version

libprotoc 3.19.1

[gobgp-3.24.0]$ go version

go version go1.21.1 linux/amd64

`

[usama6naseer]

I have added a comparison for sample below.

The generated protobuf files gives you the information about the used software versions.

gobgp/api/attribute.pb.go

Lines 22 to 26 in 3a8f4fb

	// Code generated by protoc-gen-go. DO NOT EDIT.
	// versions:
	// protoc-gen-go v1.28.1
	// protoc v4.25.6
	// source: attribute.proto

tools/grpc/genproto.sh is outdated. Can you send a pull request to update it?

@fujita I think this was my fault due to using a new version of protoc and did not run the script in the tools folder. This PR should update the script. I also upgraded protoc-gen-go and re-generated protobuffs while I was at it:

#2889

[usama6naseer]

@floatingstatic Thanks for the quick fix!

I still see the problem at my end and it seems like I am doing something wrong. Would really appreciate if you can take a look.

I am working with gobgp-3.24.0 and generating from the vanilla attribute.proto is breaking things for me. The versions suggested for 3.24.0 are:

// Code generated by protoc-gen-go. DO NOT EDIT. // versions: // protoc-gen-go v1.28.1 // protoc v3.20.3 // source: attribute.proto

My env versions seem to be the same but I am seeing weird generated attribute.pb.go (generated file are the same with v25.6). I have added a sample of generated file below.

`
// Code generated by protoc-gen-go.
// source: attribute.proto
// DO NOT EDIT!

@usama6naseer try downloading protoc from here: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v25.6
See under "assets" you can find a pre-compiled binary for whatever operating system you are using.

I would also suggest seeing if you can try genproto.sh from the branch I opened a PR for (see above)

[floatingstatic]

@usama6naseer following up on this. Did installing the correct version of protoc fix your problem?

[usama6naseer]

@floatingstatic yes, I can confirm that I was able to fix the issues with newer scripts (though I had to specific the protoc-gen-go binary path with --plugin= because my env wasn't picking up protoc-gen-go even with PATH set).
