Describe the bug
There's no way to partly omit nested messages in repl mode. --dig-manually allows to omit only the currently selected field and then skips the filling of the rest of the fields. There needs to be a way to skip a field and move to the next one.
To reproduce
syntax = "proto3";
package mypackage;
service MyService{
rpc UpdateGroup (UpdateGroupRequest) returns (UpdateGroupResponse);
}
message UpdateGroupRequest{
int64 group_id = 1;
OrganizationsValue organizations = 2;
PointsValue points = 3;
message OrganizationsValue{
repeated int64 organization_ids = 1;
}
message PointsValue{
repeated int64 point_ids = 1;
}
}
message UpdateGroupResponse{
}
Then try skipping organizations field completely(make it nil), but enter points.
Expected behavior
There is way to omit field organizations, but fill points so the request will look like this:
{"group_id": 20, "points": {"point_ids": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}}
Environment
- OS: macOS 11.6.4
- Terminal: zsh
- Evans version: 0.10.6
protocversion: -protocplugin version (if you are using): -
Additional context
The one way to solve this issue is to add a new option to --dig-manually mode that will allow to skip a field without skipping the rest of them. The name can be skip once for example.
