Emulator: auth functions not triggered #2847

jonadeline · 2020-11-21T17:37:44Z

It seems that the firebase functions based on auth events (in my case functions.auth.user().onCreate) are not triggered within the emulator suite.
In Emulator UI i'm able to see that my auth function is initialized correctly but nothing happens when a user is created (from client side with auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword() method)

I set the required env variables (FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST and GCLOUD_PROJEC) when launching the emulator

My dependencies are up to date :
firebase-tools 8.16.2
firebase-admin: 9.4.1
firebase-functions: 3.11.0

Note : regular firebase functions are triggered properly in the emulator.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

samtstern · 2020-11-23T16:45:53Z

@jonadeline have you called firebase.auth().useEmulator("http://localhost:9099") on the client side before attempting to create the user? Do you see the created user in the Emulator UI?

jonadeline · 2020-11-24T06:31:49Z

Hi @samtstern, yep the user creation is working like a charm in the emulator. I can see it in the Emulator UI.

samtstern · 2020-11-24T18:16:33Z

@jonadeline I am able to reproduce this as well:

functions/index.js

const functions = require('firebase-functions');

exports.onNewUser = functions.auth.user().onCreate((user, ctx) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(user));
  return true;
});

    </div>
    <script>
      document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
        const username = `user${new Date().getTime()}@example.com`;
        const password = 'password';

        firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(username, password)
          .then((res) => {
            console.log(res);
          })
          .catch((err) => {
            console.warn(err);
          });
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

I see the users created in the Emulators UI but there are no function logs reporting that the auth function ran:

Even when creating a user directly in the UI, no functions run.

samtstern · 2020-11-24T18:17:55Z

@abeisgoat @yuchenshi this seems like a big bug, do we have tests covering this? Am I missing something?

yuchenshi · 2020-11-24T23:37:11Z

We don't have integration tests with client SDKs and let's add those as a first step. (We do have them for users created by admin SDKs). After that, we should be able to reproduce it and catch regressions in the future.

NMVW · 2020-11-25T02:50:26Z

@jonadeline @samtstern i am also able to reproduce this bug locally.

In the interim, connecting auth directly to a test gcp project environment to test OAuth flows work, but not ideal for testing integration with rest of firebase emulator services.

samtstern · 2020-11-25T20:47:08Z

@jonadeline @NMVW I just tried this again and so did @yuchenshi and we're no longer able to reproduce the issue:

i  functions: Beginning execution of "onNewUser"
>  {"uid":"wuYlyJFPerRdYgqOqA6yboKHJpxN","email":"user1606337128082@example.com","emailVerified":false,"displayName":null,"photoURL":null,"phoneNumber":null,"disabled":false,"passwordHash":null,"passwordSalt":null,"tokensValidAfterTime":null,"metadata":{"creationTime":"1606337128401","lastSignInTime":"1606337128400"},"customClaims":{},"providerData":[{"providerId":"password","email":"user1606337128082@example.com","federatedId":"user1606337128082@example.com","rawId":"user1606337128082@example.com"}]}
i  functions: Finished "onNewUser" in ~1s

Are you sure your functions emulator is running with the same project ID that you're using with the Web SDK?

jonadeline · 2020-11-26T06:09:18Z

Yes, on my side I set the GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID env var with the same value used by the Web SDK client side.

Here is how I start the emulator :
FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST='localhost:9099' GCLOUD_PROJECT='project-id' firebase emulators:start

But the connexion between the emulator and the client side looks good as regular firebase functions are triggered correctly in the emulator on my environnement.

johanbuys · 2020-11-27T11:18:00Z

I am having the same issue.

Other Functions are working "https.onCall" Debugger jumps to breakpoints etc, but auth.user().onCreate is not firing, don't know if the emulator suite emulates this behaviour but auth.user().onCreate also does not fire when creating a user from the emulator dashboard.

yuchenshi · 2020-11-30T16:18:03Z

@jonadeline @johanbuys would you please do me a favor and try firebase emulators:start --project foobar instead, where foobar matches the project ID used on the client? This forces the firebase command to use a certain project ID. And please remove the environment variables -- those don't do much.

kartikwatwani · 2020-12-01T02:21:40Z

I created this repository to demonstrate another issue but I am also facing the issue that the functions.auth.user().onCreate function is not triggered when the user is created from the angular app while using firebase emulators.

johanbuys · 2020-12-01T05:57:09Z

Hi just tested with:
firebase emulators:start --inspect-functions --import=./firestoreData --export-on-exit --project xxxx
No change, one thing I would like to mention, don't think it will make a difference will test it out today, is that i am running in a remote dev environment and forwarding ports to my local machine, so environment for the server is running Unbuntu and local is running on mac.

Edit:
I also use a non default region:
functions.region('europe-west2').auth.user().onCreate

Not better on my side. 😞

samtstern · 2020-12-01T22:33:41Z

@itsmeneartou I was able to clone and run your reproduction, thanks for providing it! When I signed in to the Angular app I can confirm that no Cloud Function triggered, but I also didn't see any user in my Emulator UI so I don't think the frontend is talking to the Auth Emulator at all. I suspect this is because you're using FirebaseUI, which does not yet have support for the Firebase Auth emulator.

samtstern · 2020-12-01T23:33:07Z

@johanbuys does removing the region change anything?

Confirming that in my environment I am also relying on FirebaseUI for auth flows

johanbuys · 2020-12-02T04:53:07Z

I have changed region and no effect. I too have been using firebaseUI.

However I am adding users from the emulator frontend now, would this not trigger the function? (The docs state that creating a user from the Firebase console will trigger the function, not sure if this behaviour is emulated.)

jonadeline · 2020-12-02T04:57:42Z

fyi I am not using firebaseUI

samtstern · 2020-12-02T21:35:32Z

@johanbuys @jonadeline yes if you add a user through the Emulator UI and don't see your functions triggered that's a bug, and that's probably the easiest place for us to focus going forward since it removes variables of how people use their web frontend (FirebaseUI, etc)

@samtstern yes that's the behaviour I am experiencing, create user from ui, function not firing. I have a debugger attached does not hit the bp.

same for me

jjalonso · 2020-12-08T12:58:50Z

I have found this issue today, im using emulator since few weeks back and ir works fine but today i had to implement my first auth event (onCreate) and it doesnt get triggered. no region.

johanbuys · 2020-12-22T09:07:30Z

Hi,
An update from my side, after updating firebase-tools the onCreate function is firing again.

Also one thing to note is that firebase-ui is not compatible with the auth emulator the firebase-ui team is still working on getting it to work. When using Firebase-ui it will send all comms to the configured project directly.

NB: So when you use firebase-ui all auth requests will bypass the emulator (even if useEmulator() is called) and thus the local onCreate functions will not get called.

see here: firebase/firebaseui-web#778 (comment)

samtstern · 2021-07-12T15:53:53Z

Hey everyone it's been a while since we last got a report of this issue. Reading through the thread again it sounds like some combination of the following will fix it:

Updating firebase-tools
Updating FirebaseUI
Making sure to match Project IDs

I'm going to close this one, but if anyone sees this issue again just let me know and we can reopen it.
