Proto file name should not contains package name or should be located in root directory
Closed this issue · 1 comments
When i tried to generate proto files for MIP 4.2 schemas I receive strange result:
- All proto files was located in the same folders hierarchy as corresponding XSD files
- But additionally all proto files have package name in their file names.
This cause some strange imports like "vision/combat/xsds/_2015/_07/_05/base/vision_combat_xsds__2015__07__05_base.proto"
As the result it generates Java file with name VisionCombatXsds20150705Base.java instead of simply Base.java.
Why not to put all proto files with the package as a part of file name in the root directory?
Or another way - why proto file name simply not equals to original XSD name without package?
You can try to generate following schema to understand what I mean.
https://combat.vision/xsds/2019/04/11/MIP-IES.xsd
You should take a look at the style guide https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/style, it answers some of your questions.
- Directory structure follows package structure
- You cannot have more than one proto file providing messages for a given package. So 1 package = 1 file. This is not true for xsds. So 2 xsd files with different filenames must be merged into 1 proto file. Currently this means that we are generating a filename based on the package
