Open source service generation

[nipunn1313]

Currently there's some non-OSS service generation code at DBX which relies on this - which can come out as well (pb_service)

Is there any estimate on when this may become available?

@ParkMyCar and I are working on it! Thanks for the interest.

We're trying to modernize the usage of futures before open sourcing it
(it's currently using a v/ old version of the futures library).

May just end up open sourcing it w/ the old version and upgrade usage of futures later - depending on how much extra time we get.

sorry! Dodged the question!

I'll look into it! It's been on the back burner. Will try to get an update to you in a week.
Can't promise it'll be in a good enough quality state to merge onto master (documentation, tests) - but should be able to get the code onto a branch to take an early look.

I did a code drop of what we got so far onto
https://github.com/dropbox/pb-jelly/tree/pb-jelly-svc

Doesn't work yet - but should let you see what's going on
Need to provide a couple of proto files, update to futures03, and eliminate some internal dependencies - but it's on its way

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the quick turn around! I’ll definitely be giving it a look see!

Update: I have a WIP change internally at Dropbox to migrate pb-jelly-svc to use futures03. We'll work on getting that open sourced soon, and then we'll need to integrate with pb-jelly-gen 🙂

Any update on the status of this?

[ParkMyCar]

@SkamDart thanks for the reminder, I got caught up in end of the year stuff but I'll try and make some progress here this week or next

[ParkMyCar]

Update, I haven't forgotten about this, but haven't found the time to get it done yet. Thanks for being patient, and sorry to anyone who is waiting 🙂

Thanks for the update! No rush from me, just interested.
