Summary
Many users, including myself, have encountered syntax compatibility issues with the older version of the Protobuf compiler when using newer Proto3 syntax. This problem typically manifests with errors regarding
optionalfields.Brief Description
The issue arises when attempting to compile proto files that use the
optionalkeyword, which isn't fully supported in older versions of the Protobuf compiler.Many beginner engineers,like me who often do not have the latest tools due to various constraints, face this issue frequently.
