@gadzair It is fixed now. If it is still giving you an error, then your protoc is probably too old and cannot compile version 3 .proto files.

@ehoepfner

Nope it still doesn't work. I am able to compile .proto files and the following works just fine: python compile_single.py -l csharp

python compile_pretty.py csharp still fails with the same error using your PR here: https://github.com/AeonLucid/POGOProtos/pull/176

If you change https://github.com/ehoepfner/POGOProtos/blob/d4ba07a658f6b45a37c0e335256d26b39e321c3a/compile_pretty.py#L450 to call(command, shell=True) it appears to work fine.

I suspect that the compile command is somehow to long with all the files as arguments.

@nabeelamjad Yes, you are right. But with shell=True it fails on Windows with "The command line is too long.". That's why I changed it to False originally.

So I put in a check if the OS is Windows or not and then set the shell argument appropriately.

Long too path error? “Long path tool” is very helpful for this problem. You can solve this problem like copy, delete, long path files by using this tool. I used to have similar problems too, but after using “long path tool” everything was solved."
