Pipeline and releases for gRPC PHP and Pythin plugins that are not available as prebuilt artifacts

grpc-php-plugin && grpc-python-plugin

At the time of this repo creation the official way of getting grpc-php-plugin artifact was to build it manually:

It should already been compiled when you run make from the root directory of this repo. The plugin can be found in the bins/opt directory. We are planning to provide a better way to download and install the plugin in the future.

Python gRPC plugin is not provided as standalone protoc plugin as well with the recommendation to use python module:

python -m pip install grpcio-tools $ python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I../../protos --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. ../../protos/helloworld.proto

This repository is a temporary solution for building and storing grpc-php-plugin and grpc-python-plugin artifacts to use as protoc plugins, until a better way will be found.

How it works

Repo is not storing any grpc code but GitHub Actions pipeline and prebuilt artifacts in releases.

The flow is the following:

• as soon as we need the fresh version of the plugins we create a release with the same version as gRPC library release/tag (e.g. v1.35.0)
• GitHub Actions pipeline checks out the code of the library with corresponding version, builds artifacts (should be two per plugin - for linux@amd64 and darwin@amd64) and attaches them to the release
• projects/tools interested in the prebuilt artifacts can download and use them as they would normally do with other plugins (e.g. grpc-go already provides prebuilt artifacts)
