[Question] Visual Studio 2022 solution gRPC projects regeneration on each compilation without changes
VRO
Hello,
I have an "abnormal" behavior between the protos & the up-to-date of Visual Studio and I would like to know if you had already met this thing. Before opening this ticket, I spent several hours searching on the internet but I didn't find anything conclusive.
I managed to reproduce the behavior in a simple application that I share below.
1/ I don't understand why at each compilation, without any change in the whole project, all assemblies containing protos are regenerated.
Is there a configuration to have? Is it a gRPC or Visual Studio Up-To-Date bug?
I tried to switch to Detailed MSBuild to see the Up-To-Date Check Verbose but strangely no information came up of why theses files are regenerated.
I expect that if there are no changes on the proto assembly, we do not regenerate this file
2/ I also have this message warning : Protobuf item 'gRPCClient/Protos/ProtoTest.proto' has the ProtoRoot metadata '..' which is not prefix to its path. Cannot compute relative path.
We set the Link & RootPath on our protos to be accessible from other assemblies but it puts out this warning message.
I tried to find the information here, but I didn't find/understand anything to fix this issue.
The application (possibly overkill, but this is to simulate multi-assembly):
- gRPCApp: the client console application
- gRPCClient: contains the client/server protos (maybe not the best assembly name)
- gRPCServer: gRPC server
- gRPCServerAssembly: contains the gRPC server method
Thanks in advance if you have any ideas :)
