proto/buf/validate/validate.proto: does not exist

[CoolGoose]

Description

I am somehow making it so that I can't use the new validate beta

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create auth.proto file in proto/auth/v1/auth.proto

syntax = "proto3";

package auth.v1;

import "buf/validate/validate.proto";

2. My buf.gen

version: v1
managed:
  enabled: true
  go_package_prefix:
    default: github.com/SuppaDuppa/leprechaun/api/gen
plugins:
  - plugin: buf.build/protocolbuffers/go
    out: gen
    opt: paths=source_relative
  - plugin: buf.build/bufbuild/connect-go
    out: gen
    opt: paths=source_relative

buf.lock

# Generated by buf. DO NOT EDIT.
version: v1
deps:
  - remote: buf.build
    owner: bufbuild
    repository: protovalidate

buf.work

version: v1
directories:
  - proto

buf.yaml

version: v1
deps:
  - buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate
breaking:
  use:
    - FILE
lint:
  use:
    - DEFAULT
  ignore:
    - buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate

Expected Behavior

Being able to run buf generate

Actual Behavior

proto/auth/v1/auth.proto:5:8:proto/buf/validate/validate.proto: does not exist

Hey, thanks for the report! I'm having trouble reproducing this.

Can you confirm that this is your directory structure:

buf.work.yaml
buf.gen.yaml
proto/
  buf.yaml
  buf.lock
  auth/v1/
    auth.proto

And you are executing buf generate from the same directory as the buf.gen.yaml?

---

This won't fix your issue, but you can also remove the lint.ignore directive from buf.yaml (dependencies aren't linted), and make sure that you add an except to managed mode so that dependencies are imported from the correct go package.

Hey @rodaine thanks for the quick reply 🥂

My directory structure is actually

proto/
    auth/v1/
        auth.proto
buf.gen.yaml
buf.lock
buf.work.yaml 
buf.yaml

I did remove the lint + added the except to managed mode in buf.yml but it didn't do the trick

Moving buf.yaml + buf.lock did indeed fix it, so I apologise for the mixup. I do wonder by which luck this made it work before

I believe the CLI gets confused here because buf.work.yaml indicates proto as a buf module directory. When buf generate runs, it consults buf.work.yaml for the modules to target, and then looks in the proto directory for a buf.yaml. Since there wasn't one, it assumes it's the default settings (without the protovalidate dependency), and as a result cannot resolve a path for buf/validate/validate.proto.
