Could not find package

[noel-yap]

My protos are defined in a directory src/main/proto. I've placed the protop.json file in the same directory. https://github.com/noel-yap/setter-for-catan-sb/blob/use-protop/src/main/proto/protop.json

In a client project, I've created protop.json as:

{
  "organization" : "noelyap",
  "name" : "setter-for-catan-tsx",
  "version" : "0.1.0",
  "include" : [ "." ],
  "private": true,  
  "dependencies" : {
    "noelyap/setter-for-catan": "git:https://github.com/noel-yap/setter-for-catan-sb/tree/use-protop/src/main/proto"
  }
}

When I run protop sync, it errors with Could not find package noelyap/setter-for-catan https://github.com/noel-yap/setter-for-catan-sb/tree/use-protop/src/main/proto.

I've created a Stackoverflow question for this, too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63219696/where-to-place-protop-json-file

At this point, protop is only able to handle non-nested projects with a top-level manifest. We can look into the use cases of nesting projects beneath the root, but a simpler structure is necessary for now.

It sounds like you currently have a project like this:

src
└── main
    └── proto
        ├── something.proto
        └── protop.json

Since you probably don't want to mix a protop package with other non-proto sources anyway, the following should work (and will work with the current limitations of nesting):

something.proto
protop.json

I'd suggest nesting protos under a directory structure that reflects the packages as well though, so if something.proto declared package com.company.something, the following would make sense:

com
└── company
    └── something.proto
protop.json
