I tried to create proto files using
protoc -I=. –go_out=. models.proto
and
protoc -I=. –go-grpc_out=. service.proto

by going in respective directory,
models proto is getting created successfully, as it doesn’t contains any import

however service generation is failing
error: user/models/models.proto: File not found.
