Root Cause

gRPC method not found on server. Service not registered, proto mismatch, or wrong server address.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Verify service is registered on the server 
    server.add_insecure_port(...); server.add_generic_rpc_handlers([...])  # check service is added

    Sources: https://grpc.io/docs/guides/

  2. 90% success Use grpcurl to list available services and methods 
    grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 list  # shows registered services
  3. 88% success Ensure client and server use the same proto definition 
    Compare .proto files; regenerate both client and server stubs from the same source

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Regenerate proto stubs assuming the proto file is wrong 68% fail

    If server and client use different proto versions, regenerating from wrong proto makes it worse

  2. Use reflection to discover available methods 50% fail

    Reflection helps debug but does not fix the root cause of missing service registration
