Research direction

Start with compile.js around line 157 and reproduce the failure using the provided Repl.it sandbox and proto snippet containing google.protobuf.Any. Trace how field types are handled, then verify that this proto compiles without the reported Unexpected type error and that the resulting behavior is covered by tests.

Description

bug question

Sandbox: https://repl.it/repls/GleamingWhimsicalInformationtechnology

pbf fails to compile this proto


message RequestEnvelope {
    string correlationId = 1;
    string callPath = 2;
    google.protobuf.Any payload = 3;
}

with

./node_modules/pbf/compile.js:157
default:  throw new Error('Unexpected type: ' + field.type);
 
Error: Unexpected type: google.protobuf.Any
at compileFieldRead (./node_modules/pbf/compile.js:157:28)

Is it known that it's not supported or am I doing something wrong?
