gRPC collection is missing features and is a half baked product #13157

Open JonAugood opened 1 day ago

JonAugood commented 1 day ago

Is there an existing request for this feature?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I am trying to do a pull request for a gRPC collection but this seems impossible. You can for a gRPC collection but not do pull requests or merges, which is a missing feature in my opinion. I also noticed today gRPC is missing the "Try" button when using examples.

The gRPC capability was put in a few years ago and appears as though it has been forgotten with half-working features and missing features such as Pull Requests, Changelog, Exporting, to name a few.

Describe the solution you'd like

Fully featured collections tools such as Pull Requests, Changelogs and Exporting. But Pull Requests is a major personally.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@JonAugood we are aware of this being an issue, and we are exploring addressing it. Our main body of work now is we are building the foundation by unifying the way collections work across all protocols (including HTTP, gRPC, and every other protocol).

Collections are foundational to the entire Postman product experience, so it is taking time and investment, but we'll do our best to share more when there is more to share.

One thing that would be useful is I'm sure our Product team would be interested in learning more about how you leverage what we think of as the more collaboration/team oriented features you're requesting (version control, pull requests, etc.) so if you'd be open to a quick call let me know.

In some sense, consider this feedback "ack"ed and we hear it loudly and clearly. Thank you.

@DSchau I would be happy to get in some sort of call to discuss how our team is using postman and how we use these features. I am on holiday next week but send me an email jon.augood@inseinc.com
