Imported File With Extension about ts-protoc-gen HOT 1 CLOSED

Sorry for the slow response @graywolf336, this implementation (adding the .js file extension to the require() statement) is consistent with the protoc javascript generator's output. If you clone this project and run:

npm i && cd test && npm run build

You will see that the test/js_test/generated/examplecom/simple_pb.js file (which is generated by protoc) contains the following require() statements which include the .js file extension:

var google_protobuf_compiler_plugin_pb = require('google-protobuf/google/protobuf/compiler/plugin_pb.js');

Whilst we do have control over the contents of the generated _pb_service.js files, and could strip the .js extension from there, we would not be able to modify the output from protoc - unless there is a protoc flag that I'm not aware of that modifies this behaviour?

As a workaround I would suggest running a post-processor over your generated files and stripping the .js extension using something like sed.

FWIW using require() with a .js file extension is valid.

Please re-open this issue if we can assist further.
