enum in a nested message doesn't appear to get set

[joeshaw]

If I have a definition like so:

enum Status {
    IN_PROGRESS = 1;
    ERROR = 2;
}

message Foo {
    message Bar {
        optional Status status = 1;
    }

    optional Bar bar = 1;
}

And code like so:

foo = Foo()
foo.bar = Foo_Bar()
foo.bar.status = Status.IN_PROGRESS
print foo.bar.status

None is printed instead of 1. Things work ok if I move the status field from the inner Bar message to the outer Foo.

I can work around this by constructing the inner object first and then assigning it to the parent object. For example:

foo = Foo()
bar = Foo_Bar()
bar.status = Status.IN_PROGRESS
foo.bar = bar
print foo.bar.status
