What should be a silly protoc golang question

[John]

In essence, I'm switching over to the new go protocol buffer lib and protoc libraries.

In the new version, you are told to specify go_package option in the .proto file.  So I updated all mine to have that:

 go_package = "path/to/my/proto";

I use a script that finds all my proto files and the generates the go files by recursively moving through folders looking for .proto files.

I then enter that directory and do:

/usr/local/bin/protoc -I =./ ./name.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc:./ --proto_path=/home/user/go/src

This works, however it doesn't generate the go files in that directory, it generates it inside the proto's directory with a directory structure like:

./path/to/my/proto/name.pb.go

Where, what I want is: 

name.pb.go

I've tired a bunch of different options, nothing seems to get me what I want.  

Anyone know where I'm going wrong here?

Thanks!

Have you tried the --go_opt=paths=source_relative option?

Mathew + Burak,

That was it.  

Out of curiosity, where did you find that option.  I didn't see it in protoc's help. google search for "protoc --go_opt" did not yield good results.  It did find: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/go/quickstart/, but I'd like to bookmark the definite list if you know where i can find it.

Cheers and thanks so much!
