Description

Description

I've imported the *.desc files that I generated from the *.proto files using protoc. I can see the responses, but the requests keep telling me that it can't find the relevant message type, even though I can select it. See screenshots.

Steps to Reproduce

See screenshots:

The request message type isn't found:

But I'm able to select it here.

Moreover, if I restart, all the proto.api.* messages are gone. If I then re-import api.desc in the schema, all the proto.api.* message types are back.

It's possible there's something wrong with api.desc, but I'm getting no error messages when importing it, so it's hard to know what's going on.

Environment

  • App version: Proxyman 5.12.2 (51202)
  • macOS version: macOS Sequoia 15.2

Research direction

Reproduce this on Proxyman 5.12.2 with macOS 15.2 by importing the generated .desc files, including api.desc. Compare request and response message-type lookup, then restart the app and check whether proto.api. types persist. Done means imported request types resolve consistently after import and restart, with useful errors when a descriptor cannot be used.
