Does ts-protoc-gen support windows?

[YPhyu]

I am trying out grpc-web and grpc-proxy. I am getting error when I try to compile proto to ts.

Error: ts_out: protoc-gen-ts: 1% is not a valid Win32 application.

Thank you for your help in advance.

@YPhyu add .cmd to the end of it and it works (using this locally on a Win10 computer)

[YPhyu]

Thanks. It works fine now.

running on windows 7 still not successful: npm install ts-protoc-gen within the project directory creates a new package directory, but there's no ts-protoc-gen.cmd file in the bin directory, only ts-protoc-gen (a javascript file without the extension)

Is the installation on windows supposed to create a separate launcher?

[YPhyu]

@bonnyr the plugin (protoc-gen-ts.cmd not ts-protoc-gen.cmd) is under node_modules\.bin

[bonnyr]

here's my copy of the bin directory (inside the current project):

λ dir ......\node_modules\ts-protoc-gen\bin Volume in drive E is New Volume Volume Serial Number is 306C-DC6D

Directory of \node_modules\ts-protoc-gen\bin

10/06/2017 01:07 AM

. 10/06/2017 01:07 AM .. 10/05/2017 03:04 PM 57 protoc-gen-js_service 10/05/2017 03:04 PM 49 protoc-gen-ts 2 File(s) 106 bytes 2 Dir(s) 45,089,464,320 bytes free

Am I missing something here?

[YPhyu]

You should look for the plugin at node_modules\.bin rather than Directory of \node_modules\ts-protoc-gen\bin

[bonnyr]

My bad - thanks for this. It's working now

Hi, I am trying to run ts-protoc-gen from PowerShell. I type the following command

$protoc = 'C:\Users\admin\.nuget\packages\google.protobuf.tools\3.5.0\tools\windows_x64\protoc.exe' $arguments = "--plugin=protoc-gen-ts=.\node_modules\.bin\protoc-gen-ts.cmd --js_out=import_style=commonjs,binary:generated --ts_out=service=true:generated -I .\proto .\proto\Person.proto" Start-Process $protoc -ArgumentList $arguments -NoNewWindow

And receive the following error generated/: No such file or directory. I thought that it is probably slash direction problem, cause on windows it's considered to use \. However powershell don't mind in which direction is used space, but probably plugin internally can't resolve paths. I have changed the direction of splash and there is error:

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. --ts_out: protoc-gen-ts: Plugin failed with status code 1.

Does anyone tried to execute command from powershell. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

@unsafePtr Looks like windows can't use relative path with .\ Try:

--plugin=protoc-gen-ts=%CD%/node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts.cmd

or absolute path:

--plugin=protoc-gen-ts=C:/path/to/project/node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts.cmd

I was falling apart. I wasn't getting any sleep.

3 files were created by build.sh \helloworld\src\grpc\wechat_pb.d.ts \helloworld\src\grpc\wechat_pb.js \helloworld\src\grpc\WechatServiceClientPb.ts If I used grpc-web, It work well

But I modified it for @improbable-eng/grpc-web and protoc-gen-ts, It can't work I was very angry with myself for making such a stupid mistake.

I'm working in nest js on the microservices architecture (grpc) and want to generate ts file from my proto file but when I run the following command on cmd:

protoc --plugin=./node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts_proto --ts_proto_out=./ --ts_proto_opt=nestJs=true ./proto/users.proto

I get the following error:

--ts_proto_out: protoc-gen-ts_proto: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Kindly help me out.

I think you need to run the command as: protoc --plugin=./node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd --ts_proto_out=./ --ts_proto_opt=nestJs=true ./proto/users.proto

Or you could create a shortcut to ./node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd from ./node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts_proto on windows machines if youre working with other devs in other environments

Getting this -

[orenkuper]

protoc --plugin=./node_modules/.bin/protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd --ts_proto_out=./ --ts_proto_opt=nestJs=true ./proto/

try to run it like this:

protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-ts_proto="$(npm root)\.bin\protoc-gen- 
ts_proto.cmd" --ts_proto_out=./ --ts_proto_opt=nestJs=true ./proto/yourfile.proto
