I was trying to connect cloud firestore through python-admin-sdk using Visual Studio Code which gave me same error

Working environment:

1. Ubuntu 20.04
2. Python 3.8.5
3. firebase-admin 5.0.0
4. Visual Studio Code

Resolution by re-installing PyLance extension in Visual Studio Code.

Answer 5

After unsuccessfully trying all incarnations of pip to install firebase_admin, what worked for me was adding firebase_admin in the requirements.txt file then run pip install -r requirements.txt

For some reason beyond my understanding, firebase_admin appears to work when installed by referencing the requirements.txt file but not when running pip directly.
