无法将管理员 SDK 连接到 firebase 身份验证模拟器

Question

I am trying to connect the Admin SDK to the firebase authentication emulator. But for some reason, the Admin SDK keeps connecting to the live online project. The firebase authentication emulator is running though. I tried setting setting the FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = key.json and the project ID by admin.initializeApp({ projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID" }; . It didn't work. I tried downloading the key from Google Cloud Console using a service account and setting the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to point to that key . But the admin SDK still uses the live project. How do I connect the admin SDK to the local firebase authentication emulator?

Answer 1

You can connect the admin SDK by setting an environment variable.

eg: Using the command line:

export FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST='localhost:9099'

Using node, you can also set this with:

process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST='localhost:9099'
