When a library is created with go_proto_library or some other mechanism that generates Go code (.pb.go files in this case), the generated sources files are not exposed to editors and IDEs. Consequently, code completion and refactoring tools don't work, lowering developer productivity.

The Go team is developing a workspace abstraction mechanism that will allow editors and Bazel (and other build systems) to communicate with each other without the need for direct integration. This is the long-term solution to this problem.

This issue will track progress on the workspace abstraction and will track editor awareness of code generated with Bazel.
