I installed grpc-web and the protoc-gen-grpc-web through npm. So when I do npm list -g | grep grpc I get 

➜  frontend git:(master) ✗ npm list -g | grep grpc     
├─┬ @grpc-gen/protoc-gen-grpc-web@0.4.0
├── grpc-web@1.0.3
├─┬ protoc-gen-grpc@1.2.3

Then I tried to update the protoc-gen-grpc-web plugin to the latest release 1.0.3 but I'm not sure how I should do that.

I downloaded protoc-gen-grpc-web-1.0.3-linux-x86_64 from the release page on https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/releases and replaced the file protoc-gen-grpc-web in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@grpc-gen/protoc-gen-grpc-web/bin/. But still npm list lists version 0.4.0. So how exactly should that work?

'@grpc-gen/protoc-gen-grpc-web' and 'protoc-gen-grpc' are not npm packages maintained by us (i.e. the "grpc" organization on Github). You are correct to download the protoc-gen-grpc-web plugin from our release page: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/releases

  • And what do I do with it then? Sorry for the stupid question but to replace the existing protoc-gen-grpc-web didn't work out. – po.pe Jan 30 '19 at 21:19
  • I ended up going back to grpc-web@1.0.0 and protoc-gen-grpc-web@0.4.0 as there were some strange compile issues with the latest release. Maybe it was my fault but currently I don't have the time to investigate. – po.pe Feb 04 '19 at 07:54
