I used maps in my app, and it failed.
Under the hood, maps are implemented as
repeatedmessages of two fieldskey,value. They are described as such in the descriptor tree, with the only particularity is that the "virtual" key/value message has an option calledmap_entryset.The current version of the_pb handles map types naively as those repeated messages. It converts
{ "foo" => "bar" }to[<MapEntry key="foo", value="bar">]. You would think this is correct, but the whenklass.new(params)is executed, protobuf throws an error. Protobufs actually wants a hash object for the map type. It handles theHashtoMapEntry[]conversion itself.This fixes it. I'm sure the code could be better, let me know if you want changes.
Without the code change, new test cases would fail.
This also updates gems in the same PR, sorry. It was necessary to run on ruby 3.2 which is what I have installed. Also there is little activity on this project so it should not bother, let me know.
