Issues linting protos with Buf

Question

I'm trying to set a repo for my proto files.

I have the following structure:

buf.gen.yaml
folderA
    buf.yaml
    v1
        file1.proto
folderB
    buf.yaml
    v1
        file2.proto

file1.proto needs to import a message from file2.proto, I can generate the protos code without any issues with the following:

buf generate

File A imports file B with the following

import "folderB/v1/file2.proto";

I tried adding a buf.work.yaml with the following:

version: v1
directories:
  - folderA
  - folderB

but I still get folderA/v1/file1.proto:7:8:folderB/v1/file2.proto: does not exist when I try to lint, but can still generate the code.

Can someone explain to me what am I missing?

Thanks.
