1 # gRPC-Go 2 3 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/grpc/grpc-go.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/grpc/grpc-go) 4 [![GoDoc](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/google.golang.org/grpc)][API] 5 [![GoReportCard](https://goreportcard.com/badge/grpc/grpc-go)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/grpc/grpc-go) 6 7 The [Go][] implementation of [gRPC][]: A high performance, open source, general 8 RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. For more information see the 9 [Go gRPC docs][], or jump directly into the [quick start][]. 10 11 ## Prerequisites 12 13 - **[Go][]**: any one of the **three latest major** [releases][go-releases]. 14 15 ## Installation 16 17 With [Go module][] support (Go 1.11+), simply add the following import 18 19 ```go 20 import "google.golang.org/grpc" 21 ``` 22 23 to your code, and then `go [build|run|test]` will automatically fetch the 24 necessary dependencies. 25 26 Otherwise, to install the `grpc-go` package, run the following command: 27 28 ```console 29 $ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc 30 ``` 31 32 > **Note:** If you are trying to access `grpc-go` from **China**, see the 33 > [FAQ](#FAQ) below. 34 35 ## Learn more 36 37 - [Go gRPC docs][], which include a [quick start][] and [API 38 reference][API] among other resources 39 - [Low-level technical docs](Documentation) from this repository 40 - [Performance benchmark][] 41 - [Examples](examples) 42 43 ## FAQ 44 45 ### I/O Timeout Errors 46 47 The `golang.org` domain may be blocked from some countries. `go get` usually 48 produces an error like the following when this happens: 49 50 ```console 51 $ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc 52 package google.golang.org/grpc: unrecognized import path "google.golang.org/grpc" (https fetch: Get https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1: dial tcp 216.239.37.1:443: i/o timeout) 53 ``` 54 55 To build Go code, there are several options: 56 57 - Set up a VPN and access google.golang.org through that. 58 59 - Without Go module support: `git clone` the repo manually: 60 61 ```sh 62 git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go.git $GOPATH/src/google.golang.org/grpc 63 ``` 64 65 You will need to do the same for all of grpc's dependencies in `golang.org`, 66 e.g. `golang.org/x/net`. 67 68 - With Go module support: it is possible to use the `replace` feature of `go 69 mod` to create aliases for golang.org packages. In your project's directory: 70 71 ```sh 72 go mod edit -replace=google.golang.org/grpc=github.com/grpc/grpc-go@latest 73 go mod tidy 74 go mod vendor 75 go build -mod=vendor 76 ``` 77 78 Again, this will need to be done for all transitive dependencies hosted on 79 golang.org as well. For details, refer to [golang/go issue #28652](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/28652). 80 81 ### Compiling error, undefined: grpc.SupportPackageIsVersion 82 83 #### If you are using Go modules: 84 85 Ensure your gRPC-Go version is `require`d at the appropriate version in 86 the same module containing the generated `.pb.go` files. For example, 87 `SupportPackageIsVersion6` needs `v1.27.0`, so in your `go.mod` file: 88 89 ```go 90 module <your module name> 91 92 require ( 93 google.golang.org/grpc v1.27.0 94 ) 95 ``` 96 97 #### If you are *not* using Go modules: 98 99 Update the `proto` package, gRPC package, and rebuild the `.proto` files: 100 101 ```sh 102 go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go} 103 go get -u google.golang.org/grpc 104 protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. *.proto 105 ``` 106 107 ### How to turn on logging 108 109 The default logger is controlled by environment variables. Turn everything on 110 like this: 111 112 ```console 113 $ export GRPC_GO_LOG_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=99 114 $ export GRPC_GO_LOG_SEVERITY_LEVEL=info 115 ``` 116 117 ### The RPC failed with error `"code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing"` 118 119 This error means the connection the RPC is using was closed, and there are many 120 possible reasons, including: 121 1. mis-configured transport credentials, connection failed on handshaking 122 1. bytes disrupted, possibly by a proxy in between 123 1. server shutdown 124 1. Keepalive parameters caused connection shutdown, for example if you have configured 125 your server to terminate connections regularly to [trigger DNS lookups](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/issues/3170#issuecomment-552517779). 126 If this is the case, you may want to increase your [MaxConnectionAgeGrace](https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive?tab=doc#ServerParameters), 127 to allow longer RPC calls to finish. 128 129 It can be tricky to debug this because the error happens on the client side but 130 the root cause of the connection being closed is on the server side. Turn on 131 logging on __both client and server__, and see if there are any transport 132 errors. 133 134 [API]: https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc 135 [Go]: https://golang.org 136 [Go module]: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules 137 [gRPC]: https://grpc.io 138 [Go gRPC docs]: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/go 139 [Performance benchmark]: https://performance-dot-grpc-testing.appspot.com/explore?dashboard=5180705743044608 140 [quick start]: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/go/quickstart 141 [go-releases]: https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html
