"No proto files to compile" when using <includes> parameter

[tmulle]

I know this project isn't maintained any more but hoping someone might have an idea.

Using the configuration below the plugin finds my source protos in src/main/proto but it doesn't find my base protos to import which we use for compilation.

As soon as I try to use the includes param to specify the location of our expanded dependency, the plugin says "No protos to compile" which isn't true.

Any ideas?

Ok, turns out it was my fault and misread the docs for the protobuf-maven-plugin.

I was using includes when I should've been using:

<additionalProtoPathElements>
                        <additionProtoPathElement>${project.build.directory}/protos/protobuf</additionProtoPathElement>
                    </additionalProtoPathElements>

I found it by cloning the repo for the plugin and stepping through the debugger and realized the error.
