Bazel build error for protos with for google api dependencies

Question

I'm getting below error when compiling proto files from bazel as my proto file import some google api's protos. Can someone point out the issue?

Error

imports in my proto files

import "google/api/annotations.proto";
import "google/api/client.proto";
import "google/api/field_behavior.proto";
import "google/api/resource.proto";
import "google/protobuf/duration.proto";
import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";
import "google/protobuf/field_mask.proto";

Bazel build file

load("@rules_proto//proto:defs.bzl", "proto_library")

proto_library(
    name = "monitoring_api_proto",
    srcs = glob(["v1/*.proto"]),
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = [
        "@com_google_protobuf//:any_proto",
        "@com_google_protobuf//:duration_proto",
        "@com_google_protobuf//:empty_proto",
        "@com_google_protobuf//:field_mask_proto",
        "@com_google_protobuf//:timestamp_proto",
        "@go_googleapis//google/api:annotations_proto",
        "@go_googleapis//google/api:client_proto",
        "@go_googleapis//google/api:field_behavior_proto",
        "@go_googleapis//google/api:resource_proto",
    ],
)

I tried directly import .proto files and that gives me some error related to google api's protos are not visible to my bazel target. Additionally, I can only include @go_googleapis//google/api:annotations_proto in deps and it doesn't give any importing error but my proto files are not compiling as those files need other google api dependencies.

Answer 1

Even though client_proto, field_behavior_proto, and resource_proto have been used in proto definitions, it's only required to include @go_googleapis//google/api:annotations_proto as all other dependencies comes with this annotation_proto and we don't need explicitly define others.

One more additional thing, make sure to give your .proto file path correctly.
