Updating Protobuf and Grpc in Golang

This is a creation in Article, where the information may have evolved or changed.

Transferred from: http://russmatney.com/techsposure/update-protobuf-golang-grpc/

tl;dr: When Protobuf updates, all the .proto s and deps need to update.

This post is a quick-lookup-for-you-do, so I-m not googling it every time.

Go Dependencies

Update your relevant go dependencies:

sh go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go} && \ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc

Update Protoc

Then (or before) download and install the latest Protoc binary:github.com/google/protobuf/releases.

Download the zip, open it, and move the protoc executable file into somewhere on your path.

sh mv ~/Downloads/protoc-3.0.0-beta-3.1-osx-x86_64/protoc /usr/local

Rebuild where necessary

Rebuild your .protoc files, likely per project.

For me, this means running in each go generate ./... go project ' s root directory.
