Hi @domgolonka,

Your usage is correct, I think this is due to a conflict with another package, can you send me the version of various deps: protoc, protoc-gen-go

How did you install protoc-gen-gotemplate?

[domgolonka]

$ protoc --version libprotoc 3.12.3

I did these to install it. I had proto and proto- go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go} go get -u moul.io/protoc-gen-gotemplate

Old issue but adding my experience for others:

I encountered a similar problem and realized that by default protoc-gen-gotemplate does not process .proto files that don't contain a service -- I resolved this by adding the "all=true" option as shown in the README. If your .proto file doesn't contain a service, this is probably what's going on.
