trait `prost::Message` not implemented for `Timestamp`

[duncanrhamill]

Hello, I'm trying to use prost with a proto file that includes google.protobuf.Timestamp like so:

syntax = "proto3";

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";

message Command {
  google.protobuf.Timestamp timestamp = 1;
}

I'm using prost-build with the following build script:

prost_build::Config::new().compile_protos(
    &["../../proto/public.proto"],
    &["../../proto/"],
)?;

With these versions in my Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
prost = { version = "0.13.3", features = ["prost-derive"] }
prost-types = "0.13.3"

[build-dependencies]
prost-build = "0.13.3"

However when I try to build I get the following error messages:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `Timestamp: prost::Message` is not satisfied
   --> <PROJECT_BUILD_PATH>/out/public.rs:7:28
    |

    |                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `prost::Message` is not implemented for `Timestamp`
    |
    = help: the following other types implement trait `prost::Message`:
              bool
              i32
              i64
              u32
              u64
              f32
              f64
              public::Command
            and 7 others
note: required by a bound in `message::encode`

    = note: this error originates in the derive macro `::prost::Message` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z 
macro-backtrace for more info)

This is with both rust 1.81 and 1.77.2, on Windows 10. I have tried using prost-wkt-types, setting the compile_well_known_types flag in the prost_build::Config, and setting various extern_path values to try and map the types correctly. What is frustrating is that I can see the #[derive(..., ::prost::Message)] on my instance of the Timestamp struct in the cargo registry!

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

The code you provide looks good to me. I do something similar and that works as expected. This feels to me that you are importing the wrong struct Timestamp. As you had already discovered prost_types::Timestamp already implements trait Message. https://docs.rs/prost-types/latest/prost_types/struct.Timestamp.html#impl-Message-for-Timestamp
