Additional Info

If we put another proto in the same folder the problem does not happen Here is the branch reproducing it: https://github.com/FreePhoenix888/prost-build-import-from-another-folder-error-example/tree/the_same_folder_working_way Use it the same way, just run cargo build in it

I don't understand what the problem is. Can you try to explain it differently?
