Failed to run protoc

June 19, 2021 by Eric Wilson in software

Doing some grpc work this weekend and ran into this error

failed to run protoc: exit status 1: protoc-gen-go-grpc: program not found or is not executable

Tried running an update to no avail thusly

go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

Finally solved it by running this

go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest
