protobuf.Text

Generated text format is not readable by text_format lib in other languages.
I generated a text file through this formatter with the following setups:
Proto
message SomeEntity {
int64 temporary_id = 1;
string temporary_name = 2;
}
message SomeRequest {
SomeEntity entity = 1;
}
C# message object:
var request = new SomeRequest() {
Entity = new SomeEntity() {
TemporaryId = 5,
TemporaryName = "dummy name",
},
};
I serialized it to text and printed out:
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(outputFile, false))
{
writer.Write(request.ToText());
}
Now the output file looks like this:
entity {
temporary_id: "-5"
temporary_name: "dummy name"
}
I tried to parse this text file in python using text_format, and got the following error:
google.protobuf.text_format.ParseError: 2:15 : 'temporary_id: "-5"': Couldn't parse integer: "-5"
In fact, the output integer should be:
temporary_id: -5
instead of
temporary_id: "-5"
