Sessions are not persisted (accross tabs?) and setPersistence() throwing error

[falk-stefan]

I am currently facing the issue that sesions are not persisted correctly and that setting the persistence mode is throwing an exception. Since I am using AngularFire, I have created an issue over there (angular/angularfire#3340).

However, it's possible that this issue is not related to AngularFire but rather with the Firebase JS SDK.

If I'm importing directly from @firebase/auth, fetch the Auth instance and run the native setPersistence() method I'm getting the same exception:

import {setPersistence, getAuth} from "@firebase/auth";
// ..
const auth = getAuth();
if(!auth) {
  throw "Umm...";
}
setPersistence(auth, {type: "LOCAL"}).then();

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I'm sorry, this was a mistake on my end. 🤦‍♂️
