The Go implementation of [gRPC](https://grpc.io/): A high performance, open
|
|
source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. For more
|
|
information see the [gRPC Quick Start:
|
|
Go](https://grpc.io/docs/quickstart/go.html) guide.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To install this package, you need to install Go and setup your Go workspace on
|
|
your computer. The simplest way to install the library is to run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With Go module support (Go 1.11+), simply `import "google.golang.org/grpc"` in
|
|
your source code and `go [build|run|test]` will automatically download the
|
|
necessary dependencies ([Go modules
|
|
ref](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules)).
|

FAQ

|
#### I/O Timeout Errors
|
|
|
|
The `golang.org` domain may be blocked from some countries. `go get` usually
|
|
produces an error like the following when this happens:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
|
|
package google.golang.org/grpc: unrecognized import path "google.golang.org/grpc" (https fetch: Get https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1: dial tcp 216.239.37.1:443: i/o timeout)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build Go code, there are several options:
|
|
|
|
- Set up a VPN and access google.golang.org through that.
|
|
|
|
- Without Go module support: `git clone` the repo manually:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go.git $GOPATH/src/google.golang.org/grpc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will need to do the same for all of grpc's dependencies in `golang.org`,
|
|
e.g. `golang.org/x/net`.
|
|
|
|
- With Go module support: it is possible to use the `replace` feature of `go
|
|
mod` to create aliases for golang.org packages. In your project's directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go mod edit -replace=google.golang.org/grpc=github.com/grpc/grpc-go@latest
|
|
go mod tidy
|
|
go mod vendor
|
|
go build -mod=vendor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Again, this will need to be done for all transitive dependencies hosted on
|
|
golang.org as well. Please refer to [this
|
|
issue](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/28652) in the golang repo regarding
|
|
this concern.
|
|
|
|
#### Compiling error, undefined: grpc.SupportPackageIsVersion
|
|
|
|
Please update proto package, gRPC package and rebuild the proto files:
|
|
- `go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}`
|
|
- `go get -u google.golang.org/grpc`
|
|
- `protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. *.proto`
|
|
|
|
#### How to turn on logging
|
|
|
|
The default logger is controlled by the environment variables. Turn everything
|
|
on by setting:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GRPC_GO_LOG_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=99 GRPC_GO_LOG_SEVERITY_LEVEL=info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### The RPC failed with error `"code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing"`
|
|
|
|
This error means the connection the RPC is using was closed, and there are many
|
|
possible reasons, including:
|
|
1. mis-configured transport credentials, connection failed on handshaking
|
|
1. bytes disrupted, possibly by a proxy in between
|
|
1. server shutdown
|
|
|
|
It can be tricky to debug this because the error happens on the client side but
|
|
the root cause of the connection being closed is on the server side. Turn on
|
|
logging on __both client and server__, and see if there are any transport
|
|
errors.
