Depends on a proto lib with well known protos

[junghoahnsc]

Hello,

I have a proto lib A that imports descriptor.proto and a proto lib B that depends on A.

go_proto_library(
    name = "a_proto_go",
    importmap = {
        "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto": "github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go/descriptor",
    },
    imports = [
        "../../external/com_github_google_protobuf/src",
    ],
    protos = ["x/a.proto"],
    deps = [
      "@com_github_golang_protobuf//protoc-gen-go/descriptor:go_default_library",
    ],
)

go_proto_library(
    name = "b_proto_go",
    protos = ["x/b.proto"],
    deps = [
        ":a_proto_go",
    ],
)

I could compile a_proto_go, but for b_proto_go I had to add the same imports to compile.
Is this expected? Is there any way to use the imports of the dependencies automatically?

Thanks,

Hi @junghoahnsc thanks, I agree these should transitively propagate. Will plan to fix.
