grpc_testing not included in v1.55.0 release

[DGuhr]

Hey 👋 we are using a package that depends on grpc_testing - https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc/test/grpc_testing and after the latest dependency bump to v1.55.0 go mod tidy breaks as the testing package is not included in the latest release. Was that on purpose? If so, what should one use instead?

Context: https://github.com/authzed/grpcutil uses grpc_testing, we use the util in our service.

Hello. We recently deleted the test/grpc_testing repo: #6164, and moved usages to /interop/grpc_testing. So if you want to continue using these test protos, you should point the package to /interop/grpc_testing. For reference, the test/ repository is not really expected to be stable over time, and my team lead mentioned the best practices for tests might just be to declare your own protos to not have a dependency on our interop repo :).

Thanks for the answer @zasweq :)

As I just import the grpcutil package, I cc @vroldanbet and @jzelinskie as receivers for your message, as they're maintaining the grpcutil. FWIW, I tried to exchange the lib here with 1.55.0 testpb "google.golang.org/grpc/interop/grpc_testing", but it seems interop/grpc_testing does not have the PayloadType_UNCOMPRESSABLE anymore, so all in all I guess your suggestion is the right one to go with.

Oh ok interesting. Sounds good to me. Hope it goes well :).
