INIT: Scaffolding an array of custom type #3094
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem or issue you encountered? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I am playing around with the ignite cli and am trying to scaffold a new type which has one of its fields as an array of a previously defined custom type. However, I get this error:
invalid proto message name array.Foo
These are my steps:
ignite s chain mychain
ignite s type foo index:int location
So far so good. Type foo is successfully created. Now, I want to do this:
ignite s type bar items:array.Foo
This is when I get this error:
invalid proto message name array.Foo
I am doing this in emulation of the scaffolding of other array types, such as string as per https://docs.ignite.com/kb/types
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like this scaffolding to work, just like it would work for
ignite s type bar items:array.string
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I could add the repeated prefix in the protobuf file but then I am not exactly sure how many other files would require an update. However, I have not tried this approach but I can, if this feature is not supported.
Include other useful information that helps us understand your request.

This would be a useful feature for sure. We do not support this currently, but will be adding this as a feature to include in our planned scaffolding improvements epic.
As you've said, in the meantime the best option is to modify the protobuf files manually, then recompile them using
ignite c build.If you have any issues with this process feel free to provide more info here in this issue and we can try to help!

Thanks. I took that approach and it works!

Reopening this. I think this is a very useful feature to have.

@julienrbrt Hey,
I would volunteer to implement this, the fact this is missing has been on my nerves for years.
LG
