Description
Sandbox: https://repl.it/repls/GleamingWhimsicalInformationtechnology
pbf fails to compile this proto
message RequestEnvelope {
string correlationId = 1;
string callPath = 2;
google.protobuf.Any payload = 3;
}
with
./node_modules/pbf/compile.js:157
default: throw new Error('Unexpected type: ' + field.type);
Error: Unexpected type: google.protobuf.Any
at compileFieldRead (./node_modules/pbf/compile.js:157:28)
Is it known that it's not supported or am I doing something wrong?
