Firebase Firestore: RPC Deadline Exceeded

[kevmo314]

Running on Windows 10, python 3.5.2

I also posted to StackOverflow but got no response...

Running the following code from the documentation:

docs = db.collection(u'cities').get()

for doc in docs:
    print(doc.id)

Results in the following unhelpful error 100% of the time:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "...", line 74, in <module>
    main()
  File "...", line 53, in main
    for doc in docs:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/cloud/firestore_v1beta1/query.py", line 588, in get
    for index, response_pb in enumerate(response_iterator):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/grpc/_channel.py", line 347, in next
    return self._next()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/grpc/_channel.py", line 338, in _next
    raise self
grpc._channel._Rendezvous: <_Rendezvous of RPC that terminated with (StatusCode.DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, Deadline Exceeded)>

To reproduce, create a new firestore database and just run that code.

Also, writes seem to be working correctly, but all reads end up with that error message.

Seems like this issue is related: microsoft/WSL#2657

I managed to successfully run the code on a real linux machine and in the native windows shell, but in WSL it fails miserably.

Yeah, I would guess that it's an issue with WSL. I'm going to go ahead and close this since it works on Linux and Windows, but feel free to comment or let us know if there's anything else we can do.
