Firebase函数返回并且promise不会退出函数

Question

I am still a beginner in the Firebase world and I have been trying to figure out what the problem is with the below code but I failed in all possible ways.

The code is supposed to retrieve the uid from the user profile in the database, then use it to update the authentication profile, then again to update the database profile if the authentication profile update was successful.

In index.js I have defined an exported function to deal with POSTed params from HTML forms. The code below defines the handler function in another module file:

 exports.auUpdateUserByEmail = (req, res) => {
  // This handler function will retrieve the POSTed params of user profile
  // and will attempt to update the existing user authentication as well as
  // the database profiles.
  //
  // This function accepts the following params:
  // 1. User email   // 2. Phone number   // 3. password   // 4. Display name
  // 5. Photo url   // 6. Disabled Flag
  //

  var db = admin.firestore();

  var uEmail = req.body.userEmail;
  var dName = req.body.displayName;
  var userId = "";

  var newuser = {
    displayName: dName
  }

  console.log("Email passed: " + uEmail);

  // Fetch the user UID by user email...
  res.write('User UID: ' + userId);
  console.log('User UID: ' + userId);

  // attempt to update the user authentication profile...
  return db.collection('Users').where('email', '==', email).get()
  .then(snapshot => {
    snapshot.forEach(doc => {
        var d = doc.data();
        console.log("doc.id: " + doc.id + " - d.email: " + d.email);
        if(d.email == email)
        {
          userId = d.uid;
        }
    });

    return admin.auth().updateUser(userId, newuser);
  }).then(function(userRecord) {
    // The updating was successful... Attempt to update User Details in
    // database User Profile...
    console.log("User Updated Successfully. UID: " + userRecord.uid);
    retUid = userRecord.uid;

    // Create a reference to the Users Database...
    var docRef = db.collection('Users');

    // Update the user profile document.
    return docRef.doc(userRecord.uid).update(newuser);
  }).then(result => {
    // everything went fine... return User UID as a successful result...
    res.write(userId);

    return res.end();

  }).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("doc.update - Error updating user profile in database:", error);
    return res.end();

  });
}

In index.js , I have the following exports definition:

var appAuth = express();
//Here we are configuring express to use body-parser as middle-ware.
appAuth.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
appAuth.use(bodyParser.json());

appAuth.post('/updateUserByEmail', authusers.auUpdateUserByEmail);

exports.usersAuthFunctions = functions.https.onRequest(appAuth);

I have to say that I got it to work fine to get the uid , update the auth profile, and then update database profile, but it keeps on waiting for the function return.

Appreciate your valuable help. Thanks.

I have updated the code as below and it does the jobs but returns a blank page as the HTTPS exits before the promises are complete which fires "Error: write after end" error.

var fetch_uid = db.collection('Users').where('email', '==', uEmail).get()
  .then(snapshot => {
    // var userId = snapshot.data.uid;

    snapshot.forEach(doc => {
        var d = doc.data();
        console.log("doc.id: " + doc.id + " - d.email: " + d.email);
        if(d.email == uEmail)
        {
          userId = d.uid;

          res.write('User UID: ' + userId);
          console.log('User UID: ' + userId);

        }
    });

    return admin.auth().updateUser(userId, newuser);
  }).then(function(userRecord) {
    // The updating was successful... Attempt to update User Details in
    // database User Profile...
    console.log("User Updated Successfully. UID: " + userRecord.uid);
    retUid = userRecord.uid;

    // Create a reference to the Users Database...
    var docRef = db.collection('Users');

    // Update the user profile document.
    return docRef.doc(userRecord.uid).update(newuser);
  }).then(result => {
    // everything went fine... return User UID as a successful result...
    res.write(userId);

    return;

  }).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("doc.update - Error updating user profile in database:", error);
    return;

  });

  res.end();

A previous answer of mine on Cloud Functions for Firebase HTTP timeout might be of help here:

Cloud Functions triggered by HTTP requests need to be terminated by ending them with a send() , redirect() , or end() , otherwise they will continue running and reach the timeout.

From your code examples, it looks like your then(){} promise returns are ending with res.end() , but the entire function is returning the Promise from:

return db.collection('Users').where('email', '==', email).get()

Which could be stopping it from ending when you want it to. With HTTPS triggers, you don't need to return a Promise to keep the function running, only a result.

Try removing the return statement from this line:

db.collection('Users').where('email', '==', email).get()

Then you just need to ensure that all exit routes (or termination points) end with res.end() or similar, so currently you have 2 termination points:

  }).then(result => {
    // everything went fine... return User UID as a successful result...
    res.write(userId);

    res.status(200).end();
  }).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("doc.update - Error updating user profile in database:", error);

    res.status(500).end();
  });
