gRPC-Go
The Go implementation of gRPC: A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. For more information see the Go gRPC docs, or jump directly into the quick start.
Prerequisites
Installation
With Go module support (Go 1.11+), simply add the following import
import "google.golang.org/grpc"
to your code, and then go [build|run|test]
will automatically fetch the
necessary dependencies.
Otherwise, to install the grpc-go
package, run the following command:
$ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
Note: If you are trying to access
grpc-go
from China, see the FAQ below.

I/O Timeout Errors
The golang.org
domain may be blocked from some countries. go get
usually
produces an error like the following when this happens:
$ go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
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)
To build Go code, there are several options:
-
Set up a VPN and access google.golang.org through that.
-
Without Go module support:
git clone
the repo manually:git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go.git $GOPATH/src/google.golang.org/grpc
You will need to do the same for all of grpc's dependencies in
golang.org
, e.g.golang.org/x/net
. -
With Go module support: it is possible to use the
replace
feature ofgo mod
to create aliases for golang.org packages. In your project's directory:go mod edit -replace=google.golang.org/grpc=github.com/grpc/grpc-go@latest go mod tidy go mod vendor go build -mod=vendor
Again, this will need to be done for all transitive dependencies hosted on golang.org as well. For details, refer to golang/go issue #28652.
Compiling error, undefined: grpc.SupportPackageIsVersion
If you are using Go modules:
Ensure your gRPC-Go version is require
d at the appropriate version in
the same module containing the generated .pb.go
files. For example,
SupportPackageIsVersion6
needs v1.27.0
, so in your go.mod
file:
module <your module name>
require (
google.golang.org/grpc v1.27.0
)
If you are not using Go modules:
Update the proto
package, gRPC package, and rebuild the .proto
files:
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}
go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. *.proto
How to turn on logging
The default logger is controlled by environment variables. Turn everything on like this:
$ export GRPC_GO_LOG_VERBOSITY_LEVEL=99
$ export GRPC_GO_LOG_SEVERITY_LEVEL=info
The RPC failed with error "code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing"
This error means the connection the RPC is using was closed, and there are many possible reasons, including:
- mis-configured transport credentials, connection failed on handshaking
- bytes disrupted, possibly by a proxy in between
- server shutdown
- Keepalive parameters caused connection shutdown, for example if you have configured your server to terminate connections regularly to trigger DNS lookups. If this is the case, you may want to increase your MaxConnectionAgeGrace, to allow longer RPC calls to finish.
It can be tricky to debug this because the error happens on the client side but the root cause of the connection being closed is on the server side. Turn on logging on both client and server, and see if there are any transport errors.
