Issue with protoc-gen-validate: Unknown Option "(validate.rules)" Error

[LFool]

Description:
I encountered a problem while using protoc-gen-validate.

When I execute the command protoc --go_out=. -I . hello_world.proto --validate_out="lang=go:."

it throws an error hello_world.proto:10:20: Option "(validate.rules)" unknown. Ensure that your proto definition file imports the proto which defines the option.

Directory Structure:

Copy code
├── proto
│   ├── hello_world.proto
│   └── validate.proto

Details:

• The validate.proto file is copied from protoc-gen-validate.

• The hello_world.proto file is written by myself, with the following content:

  protobufCopy code
  syntax = "proto3";
  
  package proto;
  
  option go_package="./;proto";
  
  import "validate.proto";
  
  message Person {
      uint64 id = 1 [(validate.rules).uint64.gt = 999];
  }
  

• I have also successfully installed protoc-gen-validate in the $GOPATH/bin directory following the installation instructions.

Hello, thanks for your interest! As explained in the README, this project is in maintenance mode. We recommend upgrading to protovalidate.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, but feel free to open one against protovalidate if needed. Thanks!
