googleplay.proto: File does not reside within any path specified #85

Closed rehmatworks closed 5 years ago

rehmatworks commented 5 years ago

Since the last release, the installation breaks. I've installed protobuf-compiler on my system (Ubuntu 18) and when I try to run setup.py build, I get the following error:

googleplay.proto: File does not reside within any path specified using --proto_path (or -I).  You must specify a --proto_path which encompasses this file.  Note that the proto_path must be an exact prefix of the .proto file names -- protoc is too dumb to figure out when two paths (e.g. absolute and relative) are equivalent (it's harder than you think).

Do I need to perform any additional configurations? And just curious to know is building the project locally really important? What does this improve over the previous installation?

Thank you for your great efforts!

When I run the command manually without providing the absolute path, it works: protoc --python_out=/path/gpapi googleplay.proto

This solves the issue for me but you may need to check if something else also faces this issue. Seems strange as even if I provide the path manually (without using CURRENT_DIR variable), still that doesn't work.

This is related to commit e5e60b8. Protobuf class will be generated with a python setup.py build call.

This is explained also in the README.md https://github.com/NoMore201/googleplay-api/blob/master/README.md#build
