Question about ts-proto comment

[kangsuhyun-yanolja]

Hello. It seems like ts-proto preserves comments by default, but when using it through rules_proto the comments are omitted. I was wondering if this is the expected behavior, and if there might be a way to preserve the comments.
I tested with this code: kangsuhyun-yanolja#1
I would appreciate any help.

Hello @pcj, I'm still having this problem. It would be great if this could be resolved. Could you reopen this issue?

I looked into this. At first I tried adding comments=true to the ts_proto options, then --include_source_info to the proto_compile[d_sources].args rule. Neither worked.

But then I realized this is controlled by the proto_library rule itself. To include source info, you need the bazel flag --experimental_proto_descriptor_sets_include_source_info (e.g. build --experimental_proto_descriptor_sets_include_source_info in your .bazelrc file). Once this data is in the descriptor set, it will be seen by the ts-proto plugin.
