Method not found: google.pubsub.v1.Publisher/CreateTopic

Question

I'm trying to publish messages to pubsub from a next.js app.

I'm working through these instructions to setup the node client and run it against the pubsub emulator, but I'm getting the following error for all methods I try:

Error: 12 UNIMPLEMENTED: Method not found: google.pubsub.v1.Publisher/GetTopic

  metadata: Metadata {
    internalRepr: Map(1) { 'content-type' => [Array] },
    options: {}
  },
  note: 'Exception occurred in retry method that was not classified as transient'
}

My Code:

import { PubSub } from '@google-cloud/pubsub'

export const getContentCollectorPipeline = async () => {
  console.info('Initializing Pubsub')
  const pubsub = new PubSub()

  console.info('Initializing topic')
  const topic = pubsub.topic('topic')

  console.info('Checking topic exists')
  const exists = await topic.exists()

  if (!exists) {
    return null
  }

  return topic
}

Note: I'm using the firebase emulators rather than the standalone Pub/Sub emulator.

I haven't been able to find much for this error on google, so I'm guessing I did something stupid.

Any ideas?

Nevermind. I fatfingered the pubsub port in my environment. Kind of a strange error message for not being able to connect to the emulator.

TLDR: check your ports are correct.
