As described in #21529, the Go rules are setting
GOPROXY=off
during the invocations ofgo install
to install the gRPC protobuf plugins because that is the default forGoSdkProcess
. The plugin builds are failing becauseGOPROXY=off
preventsgo
from contacting the Go module proxy to learn about module deprecations. (Unlike other uses ofGoSdkProcess
, the gRPC protobuf plugins are relying ongo install
to do a full build of the plugin sources, which is unlike the use ofGoSdkProcess
in the rest of the Go backend rules.)Solution: Set
allow_downloads=True
(which is already done for a precedinggo mod download
) to allowgo
to contact the Go module proxy as needed by not settingGOPROXY=off
.Fixes #21529.
