onFirebaseHosting set to true throws error in development

[lupas]

Problem

When setting onFirebaseHosting to true, the service workers try to load the Firebase JS SDK from the nuxt dev server from __/firebase/..., which of course does not exist. It throws the following error message:

Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at 'http://localhost:3333/__/firebase/8.0.1/firebase-app.js' failed to load.

Solution

Only set onFirebaseHosting to true in production like so: onFirebaseHosting: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'

ToDo

Either/or:

• Document this better in the documentation
• Fix the module so the service-worker always uses gstatic in development (preferred)

Fixed, next release coming soon.
