Local code generation depending on remote module doesn't work right

[coobeet]

Describe the bug

I'm working with a local proto directory that depends on googleapis/googleapis remote module. When I import the remote type, the local generated code doesn't use remote deps. The generated code is as follows:

import { proto3 } from "@bufbuild/protobuf";
import { Operation } from "../../../google/longrunning/operations_pb.js";

The Operation type should be imported from remote deps, but instead it's importing from local files which doesn't exsit.

My buf.yaml is as follows:

version: v1
deps:
  - buf.build/googleapis/googleapis
breaking:
  use:
    - FILE
lint:
  use:
    - DEFAULT

My buf.gen.yaml is:

# buf.gen.yaml
version: v1
managed:
  enabled: true
  go_package_prefix:
    except:
      - buf.build/googleapis/googleapis
plugins:
  # Go
  - plugin: buf.build/protocolbuffers/go
    out: gen/go
    opt:
      - paths=source_relative
  - plugin: buf.build/bufbuild/connect-go
    out: gen/go
    opt:
      - paths=source_relative

  # JS
  - plugin: buf.build/bufbuild/es
    out: gen/js
  - plugin: buf.build/bufbuild/connect-es
    out: gen/js
  - plugin: buf.build/bufbuild/connect-query
    out: gen/js

Hey @coobeet, buf does not generate code for dependencies, unless you specify the --include-imports flag. For Go, you don't notice because the googleapis/googleapis proto files set a go_package option that points to pregenerated code.

The workaround is to use two buf.gen.yaml files, and run the JS one with buf generate --template buf.gen.js.yaml --include-imports.

For more context, see #262 and bufbuild/protobuf-es#457.
