[WARN] PersistentConnection: pc_0 - Provided authentication credentials are invalid

[winstonma]

When I run the function startWeeklyTopPostEmailer() it has the following problem.

[WARN] PersistentConnection: pc_0 - Provided authentication credentials are invalid. This usually indicates your FirebaseApp instance was not initialized correctly. Make sure your google-services.json file has the correct firebase_url and api_key. You can re-download google-services.json from https://console.firebase.google.com/.

I created the firebase app and created service account key (JSON).

Please let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks

The important lines in the quickstart are:

            FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
                    .setServiceAccount(new FileInputStream("service-account.json"))
                    .setDatabaseUrl(DATABASE_URL)
                    .build();
            FirebaseApp.initializeApp(options);

This requires that you have properly placed the service-account.json file and have updated the DATABASE_URL variable. Have you done both of those? Are there other errors in your logs?

[winstonma]

I modified DATABASE_URL in Database.java and placed the service-account.json in database folder (where the gradlew is placed).

BTW how could I get more logs?

Thanks

Just found it that there is some problem in key creation.

When a key is being created, I need to add Editor role

[samtstern]

@winstonma did adding 'Editor' solve your issue?

[winstonma]

Yes I followed this Stackoverflow question and created a new service account.

Originally I created a service account without any role attached to it I got the problem above.

I am not sure the problem is caused by the SDK or the documentation (actually I got some problem with the original quickstart guide and come to this repo because of this problem).
