Like many implementations of gRPC, Tonic generates code from the protocol buffers definitions at build time using the <code>tonic-build</code> crate in a Cargo build script, and by default puts them in the path referred to by <code>OUT_DIR</code>. This has the unfortunate side effect that tooling such as <a href="https://intellij-rust.github.io"><code>IntelliJ Rust</code></a> does not see the generated code for the purposes of analysis and completion - something very useful for the verbose generated protocol buffers code - unless you take some additional steps.</p>
