protoc custom plugin erroring out with Program not found or is not executable

Question

I am trying to build a custom protoc plugin to generate custom output from .proto files. I literally copied java file containing CodeGenerator from protoc custom plugin as a sta

Answer 1

how about using absolute path of example.sh? protoc working directory may not be current folder.

Answer 2

If that is your entire example.sh, it won't work because it doesn't have a "hashbang" line identifying the script interpreter.

It should be something like:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
java cp ...

I think that's likely your problem because I tried running protoc and specifying an plug-in in the same way you did, and it worked as long as the plug-in was actually executable on its own.
