Is it valid to break up a fullname in a .proto file?

[Jeffory Orrok]

I recently was given a .proto file that had whitespace (newline and spaces) inserted in the middle of a fullname.  The pbjs parser which comes with protobufjs threw an error, but when I spoke to our partner’s engineer about it, he said it was valid syntax produced by the clang formatter.  I would like to confirm whether this is accurate.

 

Here is a sample snippet,

 

  rpc CreateChangeReview(

      xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz.proto.change_validation.CreateChangeReviewRequest)

      returns (xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz.proto.change_validation

                   .CreateChangeReviewResponse) {}

 

This is the error I get back from pbjs

 

[0]          Error: illegal token '.CreateChangeReviewResponse', ')' expected (line 153)
