I'm also getting this. Windows 7, Node 8.10.

I have a same problem. You can use relative path, it work for me.

I also found that you could use "-d" in combination with a simple filename for "-p".

grpcc --proto common/protos/service.proto --directory common/protos --address domain.com:443

Getting the same error with OSX.

This error means grpcc couldn't locate the proto file.
Although I'd really like it to say Error: Could not load file [FileName] instead.
E.g. specifying filename instead of [Object object]

[haozipang]

you can test like this：
grpcc –i -d D:FF/ --proto ./helloworld.proto --address 127.0.0.1:50051
-d, --directory path to a protobuf file directory
-p, --proto path to a protobuf file describing the service (required)

so maybe it is useful:
grpcc -d C:Users/pavankumar/Downloads/ --proto ./synchronicity.proto --address tingle-grpc.synchronicity.ai:443

[sitano]

does not work for proto with includes:

$ grpcc -p ./api/grpc.proto -d ./api -a service:8000

This error means grpcc couldn't locate the proto file.
Although I'd really like it to say Error: Could not load file [FileName] instead.
E.g. specifying filename instead of [Object object]

Just go to file index.js and add JSON.stringify(filename) basically it prints the object which contains the directory path and filepath

[dylan-dinh]

Using

$ grpcc -p /Volumes/wholeDisk/libmed/ProtoObjects/postier.proto -d /Volumes/wholeDisk/libmed/ProtoObjects -a 127.0.0.1:4000 -i

print me out this error :
Error: Could not load file "{"root":"/Volumes/wholeDisk/libmed/ProtoObjects","file":"/Volumes/wholeDisk/libmed/ProtoObjects/postier.proto"}"

any tips ? Did everything above

[jlouazel]

Going way after the battle, but I made it work by launching the tool in the same folder as the proto file. Doing otherwise would just throw me the error.

Hope it can help someone. Enjoy 😄
