Github Actions Google Palm API No module named 'google.protobuf'

Question

Im getting the following error when my Github actions tries to install google-generativeai for the Palm API. I tried adding pip install protobuf explicitly in the github actions yaml, added it in requirements.txt, and in my setup.py. Nothing works.

Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
