QProtobuf failed on nested data

DevSki

Hi all!

I'm trying to use a big proto file with lots of dependencies.
During the build, I've found some errors.

no type named 'Logo' in namespace 'project::teams::Career_QtProtobufNested::Team_QtProtobufNested'; did you mean 'CreateTeamRequest_QtProtobufNested::Logo'?

The errors (there are many similar but of different types) are generated from some .proto like this.

syntax = "proto3";
package project.teams;

...

message Team {
  ...

  message Logo {
    uint32 bg = 1;
    uint32 fg = 2;
  }

  ...
  Logo logo = 4;
  ...
}

message Career {
  message Team {
    ...
    teams.Team.Logo logo = 3;
  }

  ...
  Team team = 3;
  ...
}

From my noob point of view, I would expect to generate a

project::teams::Team_QtProtobufNested

instead of

project::teams::Career_QtProtobufNested::Team_QtProtobufNested

This proto already worked on a C# application, I'm trying in my spare time to learn something new in the Qt field.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I have not used the Qt Protobuf module yet so can you share the steps you did that triggered this issue ?

@SGaist thank you for the welcoming :D

I've prepared a project that can be used to reproduce the problem or check my settings; I think that can be clearer.

The pattern used in the protobuf is most likely supported by the C# and Erlang libraries, not the Qt implementation.
I'm trying only to understand if I've set something wrong and fix it accordingly.

Thank you in advance :)
