What happened

Generate wrong TypeScript definition, because google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap doesn't exist:

import * as jspb from "google-protobuf";
import * as google_protobuf_struct_pb from "google-protobuf/google/protobuf/struct_pb";

export class MyMessage extends jspb.Message {
  getValue(): google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap[keyof google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap];
  setValue(value: google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap[keyof google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap]): void;

  serializeBinary(): Uint8Array;
  toObject(includeInstance?: boolean): MyMessage.AsObject;
  static toObject(includeInstance: boolean, msg: MyMessage): MyMessage.AsObject;
  static extensions: {[key: number]: jspb.ExtensionFieldInfo<jspb.Message>};
  static extensionsBinary: {[key: number]: jspb.ExtensionFieldBinaryInfo<jspb.Message>};
  static serializeBinaryToWriter(message: MyMessage, writer: jspb.BinaryWriter): void;
  static deserializeBinary(bytes: Uint8Array): MyMessage;
  static deserializeBinaryFromReader(message: MyMessage, reader: jspb.BinaryReader): MyMessage;
}

export namespace MyMessage {
  export type AsObject = {
    value: google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap[keyof google_protobuf_struct_pb.NullValueMap],
  }
}

What you expected to happen

Generate right TypeScript definition.

If use the following proto:

syntax = "proto3";

enum NullValue {
  NULL_VALUE = 0;
}

message MyMessage {
  oneof kind {
    NullValue value = 1;
  }
}

it will generate right definition:

import * as jspb from "google-protobuf";

export class MyMessage extends jspb.Message {
  hasValue(): boolean;
  clearValue(): void;
  getValue(): NullValueMap[keyof NullValueMap];
  setValue(value: NullValueMap[keyof NullValueMap]): void;

  getKindCase(): MyMessage.KindCase;
  serializeBinary(): Uint8Array;
  toObject(includeInstance?: boolean): MyMessage.AsObject;
  static toObject(includeInstance: boolean, msg: MyMessage): MyMessage.AsObject;
  static extensions: {[key: number]: jspb.ExtensionFieldInfo<jspb.Message>};
  static extensionsBinary: {[key: number]: jspb.ExtensionFieldBinaryInfo<jspb.Message>};
  static serializeBinaryToWriter(message: MyMessage, writer: jspb.BinaryWriter): void;
  static deserializeBinary(bytes: Uint8Array): MyMessage;
  static deserializeBinaryFromReader(message: MyMessage, reader: jspb.BinaryReader): MyMessage;
}

export namespace MyMessage {
  export type AsObject = {
    value: NullValueMap[keyof NullValueMap],
  }

  export enum KindCase {
    KIND_NOT_SET = 0,
    VALUE = 1,
  }
}

export interface NullValueMap {
  NULL_VALUE: 0;
}

export const NullValue: NullValueMap;

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

syntax = "proto3";

import "google/protobuf/struct.proto";

message MyMessage {
    google.protobuf.NullValue value = 1;
}
