Bug: unknown command protoc for buf

[eleijonmarck]

Hey,

I am trying to follow instructions for setting up a cosmos-sdk where I would like to generate protobuf files from buf.

context

I want to generate protobuf files. I have a docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/tendermintdev/sdk-proto-gen that I want to generate protobuf files with.

problem

buf protoc

unknown command "protoc" for "buf"

The following bash script should output the protobuf files

// makefile
...
proto_dirs=$(find ./proto -path -prune -o -name '*.proto' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 dirname | sort | uniq)
for dir in $proto_dirs; do
  buf protoc \
  -I "proto" \
  -I "third_party/proto" \
  --gocosmos_out=plugins=interfacetype+grpc,\
Mgoogle/protobuf/any.proto=github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/codec/types:. \
  $(find "${dir}" -maxdepth 1 -name '*.proto')
  
...

tested so far

downloading buf locally, I do not find the command avaialble.

buf version is here.

buf --version
1.5.0

Is there something I am missing?

We moved buf protoc to buf alpha protoc in #915.

I do not recommend using this command or relying on it, see linked issue for more details.

If you've seen references to buf protoc in our documentation, please let us know so we can fix this .. otherwise I'd suggest updating the cosmos-sdk instructions? Let us know if you have questions!

Closing the issue as no further action.
