Firestore AttributeError：模块“firebase_admin”没有属性“firestore”

Question

I encountered a problem when importing the Firestore module from package firebase_admin.

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials

cred = credentials.ApplicationDefault()  

firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred, {
  'projectId': "...",
})

db = firebase_admin.firestore.client()

i installed the firebase_admin package using:

pip install --upgrade firebase-admin

But it returned:

AttributeError: module 'firebase_admin' has no attribute 'firestore'

I wonder if i missed something.

Answer 1

面临同样的问题，添加以下导入对我有用

from firebase_admin import firestore 

Answer 2

The import part is correct. You did the import of the library and resources correctly.

However, the part of the db = firebase_admin.firestore.client() it's not completely well set. This method needs a parameter for it to be called correctly. As it's explained in the official documentation here :

Parameters: app – An App instance (optional)

So, even if you don't to send a specific app, you need to set it as none , for the method to be called correctly. Another example of how to call the method can be found in the official repository from Firebase, accessible via this link .

Let me know if the information helped you!

Answer 3

You can't use

firebase_admin.firestore

but you can use

from firebase_admin import firestore

Hope this helps !

Answer 4

Solutions -

1. I had the same error when i was using python 3.8 and then I switched to python 3.7 and that's how I solved my issue.
2. Rather using firebase_admin.firestore import the module from firebase_admin import firestore .
