google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status: ambiguous import issue

When I try to build the xk6 using the following command

xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-redis --with github.com/grafana/xk6-output-template

I get the following error:

go: k6 imports

Hi @jadKhoury1

Thanks for reaching out. It appears using the github.com/grafana/xk6-output-template extension causes this issue. Considering this specific extension is meant as a template that allows you to kickstart an extension's project instead of being used directly in the build process, may I enquire what you're trying to achieve? 🙇🏻

Hello @oleiade

Thank you for your response. Initially, the package that I wanted to build was github.com/LeonAdato/xk6-output-statsd, which is generated from github.com/grafana/xk6-output-template and as you mentioned the problem is coming from xk6-output-template, it seems that the extension is using an older google.golang.org/genproto version from the one that you are using in your project.

So as a workaround for now, I forked the github.com/LeonAdato/xk6-output-statsd and updated google.golang.org/genproto version jadKhoury1/xk6-output-statsd@8a42f2e.

To be honest I am not sure exactly on which project I should report the issue knowing that xk6-output-template is used as a template for output extensions, and that xk6-output-statsd is the replacement of the initial k6 StatsD metrics collector.
