What's up?

Using a scala service with protobuf based grpc. I used to have 3 folders with .proto files in the service. One of those is now moved to a different library. So my buf.yaml was adjusted as follows:

version: v2
modules:
  ##- path: other/src/main/protobuf ##this is now being moved to a separate library
  - path: service/src/main/protobuf
  - path: service/target/protobuf_external
    breaking:
      use:
        - WIRE
      except:
        - FIELD_SAME_DEFAULT

When buf breaking ... is running (on my dev branch) it complains that:

buf breaking --against /tmp/my-master-branch-copy --error-format=json

Failure: input contained 2 images, whereas against contained 3 images

So the question is: How to properly get rid of the removed .proto path/folder ?

Thanks

Per the issue instructions, you must provide a reproducible example via a temporary GitHub repository. Without this, we are unable to help. Closing until a reproducible example is provided.

@bufdev the gist of an example is the snippet I already provided above.

Not complete, as in not a full repo that I can provide, sure. But it should explain the issue reasonably well.

[bufdev]

That is not a reproducible example. A reproducible example is something we can run, and see the issue. Please see the issue instructions for more details.

Is there a link to the docs explaining how a path previously "tracked" by buf can be removed?

Is there something to be done, or maybe just removing the path from buf.yaml should work?

We're not exactly sure what you're referring to here, and can't engage in this problem further until you've given us a reproducible example. Our team has limited bandwidth, and must be able to be efficient in its support requests.

We won't be responding further to this issue until a reproducible example is provided, thanks.
