@thesamet Have you guys seen this: https://github.com/os72/protoc-jar ?

@ahjohannessen This looks really useful. Thanks!

[ahjohannessen]

@nadavsr Yep, that could eliminate the need to have a install_protobuf.sh for CI and utilize dependency caching and faster CI builds, as well :-)

[ahjohannessen]

@nadavsr @thesamet Would it be possible that you guys upgrade to sbt-protobuf 0.4.0: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-protobuf/blob/master/notes/0.4.0.markdown

It has ability to run protoc-jar as issue sbt/sbt-protobuf#23 is closed.

[thesamet]

Yes, this is planned to happen soon.

I've built ScalaPB 0.4.12 to depend on sbt-protobuf 0.4.0. I added to http://trueaccord.github.io/ScalaPB/sbt-settings.html instructions on how to use protoc-jar to avoid the dependency on protoc.

This is progress in the right direction, but the main issue of running ScalaPB outside SBT still remains.

This is great! 👍 Thank you very much for doing this :) Going to try it out now

[ahjohannessen]

It works great 👍 I wondered why the following is printed out:

protoc-jar: protoc version: 261, detected platform: mac os x/x86_64
protoc-jar: executing: [/var/folders/y5/lswvltf14fx02nn9xhtv_65m0000gn/T/protoc4087409384165246742.exe, --plugin=protoc-gen-scala=...

It detects OS X correctly, but then it logs that it executes an .exe. That is a bit odd.

Found that it comes from here: https://github.com/os72/protoc-jar/blob/master/src/main/java/com/github/os72/protocjar/Protoc.java#L103

There is now a supported way to run ScalaPB directly ftrom the command line, outside SBT. Look for spbc in http://trueaccord.github.io/ScalaPB/
