Describe the Issue
When I attempt to use reflection on a grpc service that has reflection enabled, I receive the following error: Could not load server reflection. Unknown error..
I have server reflection enabled on my service. I have verified that it is working with grpc_cli and grpccurl. Both tools are able to list the endpoints via reflection. I just updated and restarted postman. There are no console logs
Since the error message isn't telling me anything helpful, I attempted to use 2 other tools to figure out what is wrong. But like I said, both of those tools are able to use reflection just fine.
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:8081 list
returns a list of servers.
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:8081 list service.v1.Service
returns a list of endpoints on the server.
Similar commands work as expected with grpc_cli.
I can also import the proto just fine in postman. I have an import path added if that matters? I can provide that if it is useful. Once I have imported the proto, postman again works just fine. The error message isn't any help and I haven't found anything useful via searching. The only suggestion I've seen is to use the other 2 tools I mentioned, and both of those tools are working with my service.
Here is an example proto, I have changed the names of things and removed quite a few endpoints since the file is large. I don't think there is anything unusual in the missing endpoints and messages that would cause this situation.
syntax = "proto3";
package thing.v1;
option go_package = "gitlab.com/things/libraries/go/grpc/thing/v1";
import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";
import "geojson/v1/geojson.proto";
import "common/metrics/v1/metrics.proto";
import "common/pagination/v1/pagination.proto";
service Thing {
rpc GetThings(GetThingsRequest) returns (GetThingsResponse);
}
message GetThingsRequest {
GetThingsFilters filters = 1;
pagination.v1.Params pagination = 2;
}
message GetThingsFilters {
repeated string thing_ids = 1;
}
message GetThingsResponse {
repeated Thing things = 1;
pagination.v1.Response pagination = 2;
}
message Thing {
string name = 1;
}
I can include the imported proto definitions if you would like.
I removed my health check endpoint as well and am still getting the same errors.
I checked the other issues pertaining to reflection and didn't see anything that seemed useful or pertinent. Could someone offer advice on what I might be doing wrong? If I'm missing some information here please let me know and I'll happily provide it.
Steps To Reproduce
- Create proto
- Run server with reflection enabled, this is written in golang
- Create new grpc request
- Use server reflection to generate the request
