Potential documentation issue

[hatyo]

I tried to follow the documentation to build DFB-RL and run some tests on a fresh environment, I noticed that the provided command in step 2 in the documentation: ./gradlew package didn't generate the protobuf files.

I don't have much experience with Gradle, but trying the following command did cause the generation of proto files ./gradlew build -x test.

steps to reproduce:

git clone [email protected]:FoundationDB/fdb-record-layer.git
cd fdb-record-layer
./gradlew package
find . -name "*SampleProto*" | wc -l # 0
./gradlew build -x test
find . -name "*SampleProto*" | wc -l # 20

env:
