Initialize error 'Unable to create a FirestoreClient: Error rendering...'

[ShinoharaTa]

Hello.

This library is very easy to use. I thank you.

It's working is 2 days ago.
Not working today.

I don't change files .env and firebase_credential.json.
Please let me know if you have any cause.

error message:

Kreait\Firebase\Exception\RuntimeException  : Unable to create a FirestoreClient: Error rendering 'projects/{project=*}/databases/{database=*}': expected binding 'project' to match segment '{project=*}', instead got null

Hm, this looks like if perhaps the composer autoloader has lost some information - could you try doing a composer dumpautoload and see if that fixes something? And ensure that your credentials file is really unchanged?

I'm just guessing, but the error hints at the project ID not being available, and the project ID is always included in the service account JSON.

[ShinoharaTa]

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Since an exception was found in Discover.php, I started running after clearing the cache.

Kreait\Firebase\ServiceAccount\Discovery\FromEnvironmentVariable: The environment variable "FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS" is not set.
Kreait\Firebase\ServiceAccount\Discovery\FromEnvironmentVariable: The environment variable "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS" is not set.
Kreait\Firebase\ServiceAccount\Discovery\FromGoogleWellKnownFile: The well known file is not readable or invalid
cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: metadata.google.internal (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

We are now thinking about how to respond.
Is there a way to load firebase_credential.json without using Discover.php when doing new Factory () ?

[ShinoharaTa]

I tried $factory = (new Factory())->withServiceAccount('/var/www/server/firebase.json');;

And FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS key is not set.
The process is end, nothing error.
Is this the way it is?

[jeromegamez]

That's the way it is, yes. As soon as you provide a service account, the factory will not try to auto-discover the credentials after that.

You are not receiving the error in that line, the most common reason for this error is that you are not using the same factory that you initialized. As an example:

$factory = (new Factory())->withServiceAccount('...');

Here, the second line will return a new instance of the factory, the previous `$factory` will be untouched
$factory->withDatabaseUrl('...');

// Correct would have been
$factory = $factory->withDatabaseUrl('...');

[ShinoharaTa]

Hi, Kreait Team.

Thank you.
With your advice, my project was able to move on.
Thanks for the quick reply and courteous response.

[jeromegamez]

Oh, I just realized that we are in the context of the Laravel Package 😅 - here you normally shouldn't need to invoke the Factory manually at all.

Could you tell me more about why you are doing new Factory() instead of using app('firebase.<component>') or dependency injection?

[ShinoharaTa]

I saw this page and wrote the program.

https://firebase-php.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cloud-firestore.html

Now, when I reviewed Readme.md again, it was written. I missed it without noticing.
I will try again!

[ShinoharaTa]

Hi, jeromegamez.

The program I wrote now looks like.

use Kreait\Firebase;
use Kreait\Firebase\Factory;
use Kreait\Firebase\ServiceAccount;
use Kreait\Firebase\Messaging\CloudMessage;
use Kreait\Firebase\Messaging\Notification;
use Kreait\Firebase\Messaging\WebPushConfig;

            // This code is get Cloud Firestore collections.
            $factory = (new Factory())->withServiceAccount(config('firebase.config'));
            $firestore = $factory->createFirestore();
            $database = $firestore->database();
            $var_list = $database->collection('tokens')->document('tokens')->snapshot();

How can I write this in a form suitable for Laravel without using "new factory ()"?
I am glad that it is also an example to be helpful.

[jeromegamez]

In Laravel, you could do for example:

$database = app('firebase.firestore')->database();

$var_list = $database->collection('tokens')->document('tokens')->snapshot();

[ShinoharaTa]

Thank you for your reply.
I tried as you say and it was successful.
Thanks for the quick response.

It was not a problem with your library.
Can I close this issue?

[jeromegamez]

If you‘re satisfied with the outcome, of course :). Please fell free to create a new issue or ask on Discord if you have further questions!

Today I suddenly got this issue after run config:cache then I figured out that it only read FIREBASE CREDENTIALS in .env not GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

[jeromegamez]

The behaviour should be that it first tries to read from FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS and from GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS if the former is not set. If both are set, FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS take precedence, even if it's set with an empty value. (

laravel-firebase/config/firebase.php

Line 50 in d5b468f

'file' => env('FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS', env('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS')),

)

today I have same problem after I ran php artisan config:cache.

After I ran: php artisan config:clear
Problem solve.

[SamMakesCode]

For anyone who comes after me, I had this issue when using google/cloud-firestore directly. I created a FirestoreServiceProvider which registered a singleton, but I failed to register the service provider in config/app.php
