Pass include_paths via CLI?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with rust, but I have been trying to go through the code and as far as I can tell, there appears to be no way to pass the include_paths config option via a command line argument. Is that true? Thus far all I can see is that it's possible to set this value via the toml file:

Is it possible to do something like protols --include_paths=/foo? Am I just missing something obvious?

Correct, we don't have a way to pass include paths from command line. In terms of cli --version is the only option.

I plan to add more CLI argument support with clap in next release.

Thanks for the quick reply! I look forward to that new release. I am currently using vscode and more specifically, the following extension: https://github.com/ianandhum/vscode-protobuf-support

Unfortunately, it marks all import statements as errors (red squiggles) in the .proto files. I can adjust args passed in the vscode config file (settings.json). Thus, having the ability to pass include_paths through as command line args to protols would be very valuable. 🙂

Although, I have created a PR to address this issue. I wonder why you can't just create a protols.toml file in the root of workspace (git) with include_paths? If you don't want to commit this file in version control you can add an ignore for it in .git/info/exclude this is local ignore file within your git repository. The include paths in toml could be outside the working directory (absolute) or relative to workspace as well.

Great question. I tried putting the toml file in my repo as well as a sibling of my protols executable. Neither option resolved the "errors." I haven't looked further to understand why. For now I am ignoring the "errors" as long as the rest of my build process works, and the protobuf package successfully gets deployed.

A new release 0.11.5 with this has been published on crates.io
