it seem that the custom build command for greptime-proto is not working. Would you like to provide more detailed error info?

[sunheyi6]

I don't know how to provide more information, this seems to be the problem when running, and it doesn't occur when I change it to this https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptime-proto/commit/6be01fbc814ad560687e72de65757c0c9fb0f0ac

I guess only release and tags versions can be executed

Try executing cargo check --workspace in your terminal directly.

OK, it's done. What's strange is that I have installed protoc, and I can check the corresponding version by using win+r cmd, but I can't see the same result when I execute the same command in IDEA. At the same time, I continue to execute cargo check --workspace, which is normal in cmd, but the above error is reported in IDEA. I think it's because protoc cannot be recognized in IDEA.

Thank you very much！
