protoc-gen-go-grpc: program not found or is not executable when using APIv2

[AyushG3112]

go version: go version go1.14 linux/amd64

go.mod

module [redacted]

go 1.14

require (
	github.com/golang/protobuf v1.4.0-rc.2
	google.golang.org/grpc v1.27.1
	google.golang.org/protobuf v1.20.0 // indirect
)

I installed protoc-gen-go via:

go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go

I am running the following command:

protoc -I ./src/pbdefs/protos/ --go-grpc_out=. src/pbdefs/protos/*.proto

to generate my GRPC output files from .proto files, with I am getting an error

protoc-gen-go-grpc: program not found or is not executable
Please specify a program using absolute path or make sure the program is available in your PATH system variable
--go-grpc_out: protoc-gen-go-grpc: Plugin failed with status code 1.

OK, just found out, as per https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-go/releases/tag/v1.20.0

The v1.20 protoc-gen-go does not support generating gRPC service definitions. In the future, gRPC service generation will be supported by a new protoc-gen-go-grpc plugin provided by the Go gRPC project.

The github.com/golang/protobuf version of protoc-gen-go continues to support gRPC and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

For those we find this, watch here for the gRPC support: grpc/grpc-go#3453

You found out. How did you solve it please???

If you stumbled upon this issue, you're probably want to do this:

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

@dbyington thank you

I used the official:

protoc --go_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative
--go-grpc_out=. --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative
routeguide/route_guide.proto

it worked in the official file, not workable in mine after I changed the "routeguide/route_guide.proto" into my own file name
