Importer throws error when .proto dependency is not in current or sub-directory of imported .proto

Our organization uses a central repo that contains a large number of different libraries, which includes proto definitions for all our services (hundreds). However, there are also a number of separate proto definitions that are imported to the service definitions, that are stored in a wholly separate directory structure. I created an example repo that hopefully illustrates the problem. The directory structure looks like this:

> org
  > shared
    > lib
      > grpcproto
        > uuid.proto
    > services
      > auth
        > authv2.proto

I created a sample repo to test with, which can be found here: https://github.com/molteninjabob/org.

In this example, authv2.proto imports uuid.proto from a completely separate branch in the org directory structure. I can create the importer successfully, but the import throws the following error:

microcks | protoc-jar: executing: [/tmp/protocjar8444733488152786468/bin/protoc.exe, -I/tmp/protocjar8444733488152786468/include, --include_imports, --proto_path=/tmp, --descriptor_set_out=/tmp/microcks-162613201891814477613584668397839.download.pbb, microcks-162613201891814477613584668397839.download]

@lbroudoux No worries and sorry it took a bit to get back. I’ll keep playing around with things. I really love what you’re doing and we want to use microcks as our main tool for mocking endpoints. You’re doing great things!

@xymox : your help would be really appreciated on this one 😉
