Unable to resolve x imports

Question

I am getting (using: api 'com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime:3.0.2')

Execution failed for task ':app:generateProtos'.
unable to resolve 1 imports: testing/tastes/tastes.proto
searching 0 proto paths:

My understanding is that I do not need to define anything in gradle for looking for imports?

But when it says searching 0 proto paths, it makes me wonder....

My gradle is:

wire { kotlin { android = true } }

File Structure is

      -> proto
           -> testing
                -> people
                     -> person.proto
                -> tastes
                     -> tastes.proto

my import line in person.proto is: import "testing/tastes/tastes.proto";

syntax = "proto2";
package testing.people;
option java_package = "com.testing.people";

import "testing/tastes/tastes.proto";

message WirePerson {

    optional string name = 1;
    repeated string picture_urls = 2;
    optional testing.tastes.WirePersonTaste period = 5;
}

syntax = "proto2";
package testing.tastes;
option java_package = "com.testing.tastes";

message WirePersonTaste {
    optional string taste = 1;
    repeated string picture_urls = 2;
}

I would be very grateful for any assistance :)

Be sure the protos are in src/main/proto. Otherwise the plugin won't detect it. If moving it around is a problem, you can specify the path as an option in the kotlin {} configuration.
