How to specify includeDirs in workflow.yml

[mpdbar]

Hi,

first of all, let me thank you for this amazing tool you've built. I am currently evaluating tools for automating functional tests for a gRPC API and so far, stepci is my favorite candidate!

I've followed the tutorial on testing gRPC with stepci and was able to successfully make a gRPC request to a service which does not use any imports. However, calling a service which imports google/api/annotations.proto always fails because this dependency cannot be resolved.

Now I know from using other tools like grpcurl that I need to specify additional directories (like with option --import-path in grpcurl); however, there does not appear to be a way to do this in stepci (but there should be from what I've gathered from discussions here and here).

My knowledge of JS/TS/NodeJS is limited at best, but it seems that cool-grpc always passes hard coded loaderOptions to proto-loader. I managed to do a local workaround by "enabling" YAML fields config.grpc.includeDirs and tests.<test>.steps.[step].grpc.includeDirs which behave like config.grpc.proto and tests.<test>.steps.[step].grpc.proto and "merging" this with the hard coded defaultLoaderOptions, but I was wondering if there is another, cleaner way to accomplish this.

Best regards
Moritz

Would you mind opening a pull request with your changes?

I absolutely wouldn't mind, but since that would be my first pull request in TypeScript (as in: ever), expect some ugly code. Also, that would be 2 PR's since I modified stepci/runner and cool-grpc.
