调用 python grpc 方法期间的 TypeError 没有使用 google/protobuf/empty.proto 的 arguments

Question

I have a proto scheme like this:

   import "google/protobuf/empty.proto";
   ...

   service NodeInfoService {
   rpc NodeConfig (google.protobuf.Empty) returns (NodeConfigResponse);
}

Using grpc_tools I got classes and now, when I'm trying to send request from py client, but catching the error in "stub.NodeConfig()" call. Even If I call it like "stub.NodeConfig({})" or "stub.NodeConfig("")" I have the same TypeError. Full code of client:

import grpc
import logging
from util import node_info_service_pb2_grpc
from util import node_info_service_pb2

def run():
    with grpc.insecure_channel('ip:port') as channel:
        stub = node_info_service_pb2_grpc.NodeInfoServiceStub(channel)
        response = stub.NodeConfig(node_info_service_pb2.google_dot_protobuf_dot_empty__pb2.Empty)
    print("Echo client received: " + response.message)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig()
    run()

Error :

Solution :

  empty = node_info_service_pb2.google_dot_protobuf_dot_empty__pb2.Empty()
  response = stub.NodeConfig(empty)
