Error: The include `google/api/annotations.proto` was not found. about nodejs-firestore HOT 6 CLOSED

I also happened to have this problem, and I just recently downloaded firebase.

So, I decided to dig around in the code and found that it was trying to look for the path google\api\annotations.proto by going through the parent directories of ...\functions\node_modules\@google-cloud\firestore\protos\google\firestore\v1beta1\firestore.proto (which I believe was the previous include?), but since the annotations.proto was inside ...\node_modules\google-proto-files\google\api\annotations.proto it couldn't be found that way.

I did a temporary fix where I copied the google folder from inside google-proto-files outside into node_modules (which got rid of the error), but I think it has to do with the includePath passed to grpc.js. Is this error due to some version mismatch on my side?

Thank you so much!

globby should be replaced in the most recent versions. :)

Can you please provide the output of npm list? You should see a dependency on [email protected], which contains the missing file.

Hi,

Here is a snippet of npm list.

Just as an update, I have pulled our repo onto a completely new machine and am still getting the same problems.

Hey @hrandeniya, @schmidt-sebastian, I think I found the root cause of this issue: special characters in the user's project path cause globby to fail to expand the include paths so grpc can't find the proto files. In this specific case it exhibits the same cause as me: the Dropbox folder has an extra (something) in its name, and the parenthesis is throwing globby pattern matching off.

See googleapis/nodejs-datastore#297

Thank you for your update! We will look at this internally and can hopefully address this soon.
