buf.work.yaml v1 config file
NoteBuf now has a v2
configuration available, where this file is no longer used. See the v2 buf.yaml
reference and the v1 to v2 migration guide for details about the new configuration and migration instructions.
The buf.work.yaml
file is used to define a workspace, where one or more modules can coexist and interoperate within a common directory. Workspaces make it possible for local modules to import Protobuf files from other local modules, and unlock other powerful use cases that operate on multiple modules at the same time.The diagram and file below represent a complete example of a buf.work.yaml
configuration file and its corresponding tree layout containing the buf.build/acme/petapis
and buf.build/acme/paymentapis
modules:

buf.work.yaml
version: v1
directories:
- paymentapis
- petapis
Fields
version
Required. Defines the current configuration version. The only accepted value is v1
.
directories
Required. Lists the directories that define modules to be included in the workspace. The directory paths must be relative to the buf.work.yaml
, and can't point to a location outside of the directory where your buf.work.yaml
is. For example, ../external
is invalid.The directory .
is invalid as well. Given the requirement to have no overlapping directories, and given that a directory can't point to a location outside of your buf.work.yaml
directory, listing a directory named .
in your buf.work.yaml
means that the buf.work.yaml
only contains that single directory. It's the same as having no buf.work.yaml
at all.Each directory is included as an independent module, such that all of the Protobuf files defined within the paymentapis
and petapis
directories are included in the workspace, relative to the respective module root. For more information about how to import modules into each other, see the importing across modules section of the workspaces documentation.
