🐛 [firebase_auth] Cannot use new Firebase Auth Emulator #3980

radvansky-tomas · 2020-10-28T19:43:12Z

I think before I've added it here #3969

But basically plugin does not export useEmulator() method to use new Firebase Auth Emulator Suite

radvansky-tomas · 2020-11-02T20:18:06Z

I've checked code briefly, and its using outdated native SDKs to support it. I am expecting that there is upcoming version bump, so can revisit later ;)

Ehesp · 2020-11-03T08:41:01Z

This requires a SDK version updated, however some of the other plugins will break if we upgrade the BoM versions. There are potential workarounds we're looking into and have discussed.

celesteking · 2020-11-17T19:11:57Z

Discussed with whom and where? Is this a feature that's supported? If not, it makes worth noting in docs that Firebase Auth Emulator isn't supported in flutter yet. Thanks.

update: Also, what is a "new emulator"? Have you created a new version of firebase emulator?

mikehardy · 2020-11-18T14:17:08Z

@celesteking There is one emulator suite, it contains a new auth emulator. The auth emulator requires minimum firebase-ios-sdk version 7.0.0 (7.1.0 is current) and firebase-android-sdk 26.0.0 (26.1.0 is current as of now). You are likely aware Invertase is currently working hard on FlutterFire, with a crew of between 4-6 at any given time, and the discussions are internal because there is a mountain of work to do - prioritizing it and scheduling it is the same as in any other work project.

Looks to me like the docs are open source, you could PR a note to them at any time? https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/tree/master/docs/auth

I'm going to be doing a quick sizing exercise on fastest path towards an upgrade to the underlying SDKs starting shortly now that I've finished doing the same for react-native-firebase (invertase/react-native-firebase#4471) and if it's possible quickly then I'll add auth emulator support similar to the same I just released over there (invertase/react-native-firebase#4552)

Hopefully it's quick work but I'm not sure of the size of forward port so it's hard to say.

We'll be sure to keep this issue updated though!

yulkin2002 · 2020-12-04T17:36:48Z

any news on auth emulator support?
also, can anyone suggest a good workaround without having to disable all the auth code in my app?

mikehardy · 2020-12-04T18:24:09Z

Yes, it "works"! :-), #4263 (you can follow along there) but it's a breaking change to forward port, which is something that needs to be done at a measured pace with great documentation and planning

Plus the 2 PRs that take the repo through the breaking change and to the auth emulator support are still very rough.

But it is open source, anyone can use my branch. There are only a few key commits that do the forward port (ML items, RemoteConfig, and one Messaging item if I recall correctly) so it's not that large a change really.

braamgenis · 2020-12-04T19:37:36Z

@yulkin2002

also, can anyone suggest a good workaround without having to disable all the auth code in my app?

Using remote auth with local firestore/cloud functions emulators works, if that's what you mean?

mikehardy · 2020-12-04T19:50:46Z

Well, not sure on the depth and breadth of the tests in question, but at least from a maintainer perspective where we are frequently doing full CI runs against the same firebase project, we run into Auth API call rate limiting that flakes our CI frequently. Plus it's not nearly as fast - so I do see the need and for some projects it is a fairly serious one, but until the work is done, having an "isCI()" type flag and/or only running specific auth tests manually against the real APIs is the way to go.

Another consideration is that perhaps through no fault of the developer they do not have a test project with separate data to run against, and running tests against production data is not allowed.

yulkin2002 · 2020-12-07T15:19:00Z

@braamgenis thank you! I didn't realize they would work together.

alejandroaap · 2020-12-15T11:39:05Z

Any news about this functionality? Why do flutter sdks lag far behind native sdks?

mikehardy · 2020-12-15T13:34:59Z

@alejandroaap I don't recall any feedback from you testing my PR to bring them up to date? I'd love to hear how it worked for you. Thanks!

jans-y · 2020-12-15T15:15:27Z

@mikehardy Hi, I have tried it but I couldn't build the app afterwards.

Since auth emulator is supported AFAIK from Firebase iOS SDK 7.2.0 or newer, changing globally all my Firebase CocoaPods plugins to that version (I wasn't able to do it for the Auth Pod only) resulted in multiple Swift/Objective C errors when building the App for the simulator and device.

I think that Remote Config was one of those plugins that couldn't build with the new Firebase iOS SDK.

Thank you for your efforts.

mikehardy · 2020-12-15T15:38:15Z

@jans-y that is unexpected, as remote-config was one of the items considered, and handled in the port ea18fd2 and I specifically added test harness powers that ensured they built and passed tests

cf1b55f#diff-cd98883b899aa4ad62ac6b5c5c3db5146fd0a5465749d4d3de63a77c525c04d3R20

All of which work locally for me.

I'm not saying the PR is perfect, but the problems you had are unexpected vs the specific changes I made, and I suspect something locally was cached or similar. I added a "clean:deep" target to hopefully work around that with melos run clean:deep 34902db

It is also possible that the tip of the main branch has moved on in an incompatible way since I posted the PR for consideration. I haven't attempted to run it in the last few days.

alejandroaap · 2020-12-15T16:07:32Z

@mikehardy I am trying to test your PR and I am having the following problem when running the application on an iphone.

packages / firebase_auth / firebase_auth / ios / Classes / FLTFirebaseAuthPlugin.m: 557: 9: error: not visible @interface for 'FIRAuth' declares the selector 'useEmulatorWithHost: port:' [auth useEmulatorWithHost: arguments [@ "host"] port: arguments [@ "port"]];

Any idea why it might be?

Thank you.

mikehardy · 2020-12-15T16:16:08Z

Sure, for some reason the underlying firebase-ios-sdk version is not updated correctly. You must have 7.0.0 or greater, 7.3.0 is current as of this writing. Where ever you have it specified, update it to 7.3.0

alejandroaap · 2020-12-15T16:38:40Z

You're right, that was the problem, when will the PR be completed? Thank you

mikehardy · 2020-12-15T17:36:40Z

@alejandroaap I'm not sure as I'm not in control of that in any way, but seeing users request it, and validate that it is working can only help. Make sure you're subscribed to it and have given a thumbs-up reaction to the issue itself at the top - those are a bit like votes, perhaps ask others to do so

mikehardy · 2020-12-15T17:37:12Z

Also perhaps subscribe / thumbs-up the PR itself :-)

jlubeck · 2020-12-16T17:56:55Z

@mikehardy Will this also work for using the firestore emulator? or only for auth? Do we need a new ticket for firestore? Couldn't find any reference to that...

mikehardy · 2020-12-16T18:00:12Z

I believe that firestore and functions emulators are already working and usable. You may see examples of their usage in the code base here if you look in the .github/workflows directory as they are used for the e2e tests that run against commits and PRs here.

alejandroaap · 2020-12-16T18:01:27Z

Hi @jlubeck With firestore it's already possible to use the emulator. Take a look at the documentation https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/firestore/usage

`// Import foundation for [TargetPlatform].
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

// Switch host based on platform.
String host = defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.android
? '10.0.2.2:8080'
: 'localhost:8080';

// Set the host as soon as possible.
FirebaseFirestore.instance.settings =
Settings(host: host, sslEnabled: false);
`

jlubeck · 2020-12-16T18:09:09Z

Yes! Thank you @mikehardy and @alejandroaap that indeed works.
Looking forward to the auth emulator support. I'll see if i can test out that PR in the meantime.

jlubeck · 2020-12-16T19:39:22Z

Hey, how can I use that PR as my dependency? Should I reference the latest commit on that PR?

jlubeck · 2020-12-16T20:14:10Z

The firebase_core module should have changed it yes. There are docs showing how to override it if you like as well. 7.3.0 is current

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand (english is not my main language, sorry). So you are saying that just by implementing that PR into my overrides it SHOULD have changed the Podfile to make it work?

Because if that's the case, that's not working as intended...

jlubeck · 2020-12-17T02:56:25Z

@mikehardy @alejandroaap I can't seem to find those docs explaining how to override the podfile to use 7.3.0. Would you be so kind to point me to them please? Thanks!

mikehardy · 2020-12-17T03:18:57Z

Apologies, English is my first language but I am not always clear in it :-), also I have learned another language and I know how hard it can be even when things are clear, so I empathize. That said...

You should be able to override the versions - I think - by setting FirebaseSDKVersion in your Podfile, that is what the cocoapod .podspec files seem to be looking for:

https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/blob/985b811f9c680836fe25de35ec3dfcf860610d65/packages/cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore/ios/cloud_firestore.podspec#L6-L9

[edited to add: I do note that for some reason my firebase_core changes aren't taking effect, I am not sure why but I note it - thank you for that feedback + testing]

jlubeck · 2020-12-17T05:01:47Z

mikehardy · 2020-12-17T15:49:51Z

Indeed - those steps should work. Sorry for not having complete instructions on all this, I've been doing cocoapods just long enough that all these things are reflex for me now so I don't think to specify them (pod repo update, deleting locks, reupdating etc) but I definitely remember when I first started with cocoapods and it was all foreign and I had no idea what to do. Quite frustrating. Thanks @Pcol10 for helping!

jlubeck · 2020-12-17T15:50:10Z

I'm about to give up... :(

Now I'm getting a bunch of other errors, for example:

/Users/jan/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/firebase_messaging-7.0.3/ios/Classes/FLTFirebaseMessagingPlugin.m:291:63: error: property 'appData' not found on object of type '__strong id'
      [_channel invokeMethod:@"onMessage" arguments:remoteMessage.appData];

mikehardy · 2020-12-17T16:08:47Z

🤔 that is unexpected, I will not hold it against you at all if you give up, PRs are always hard to integrate and test, I think the way Flutter works makes it even harder with the unified global pub-cache, and this PR in particular is still pretty speculative. So no worries, no expectations.

I'm about to refresh the PRs against tip of main branch to make sure they are still "alive"/"fresh" and it's possible something diverged and is not working right now until that is done.

You might make sure you are using firebase-ios-sdk 7.3.0 just in case that matters.

jlubeck · 2020-12-17T20:17:50Z

thank you for your constantn help @mikehardy unfortunately even after using 7.3.0, cleaning the flutter projects, the pod files, etc, I'm still getting that last error that I shared. It might be like you said a mix of things...

Unless @alejandroaap can chime in to show how he got his working (maybe he doesn't use other Firebase packages like I'm using?), I'm not sure what else to do but wait for further progress on those other tickets.

radvansky-tomas · 2021-01-12T05:14:02Z

Any updates ? With latest updates and bumped SDKs it should be pretty straightforward to enable this, right ?

mikehardy · 2021-01-12T12:20:34Z

PR #4263 contains all progress, follow that for updates.

I think it's close (as in, may be ready today? Maybe tomorrow?) but software is notoriously hard to predict yes? So could be longer.

All of the necessary pre-requisite work has been completed and merged though (that is: forward-porting across a breaking change version of the underlying firebase SDKs). That took a while.

Tinhorn · 2021-01-12T17:08:36Z

deep-randhawa · 2021-02-09T22:41:05Z

@mikehardy any updates on this?

mikehardy · 2021-02-09T22:48:27Z

Did you check the PR @deep-randhawa ? It's merged. I think it's even been cherry-picked to the stable branch. There will be no further updates, this should be closed, the work is done now.

markusaksli-nc · 2021-02-11T12:30:52Z

I guess I'll close this as fixed then

sderungs99 · 2021-02-12T06:45:59Z

Shouldn't there be documentation how to use it here (https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/auth/usage), before we close this?

markusaksli-nc · 2021-02-12T10:09:46Z

@sderungs99 Do you mean something like https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/firestore/usage#emulator-usage?

I think you can go ahead and make a separate documentation issue for this.

sderungs99 · 2021-02-12T11:51:30Z

Yes, that's exactly what I meant :-) I'm happy to raise an issue, but before I do that, I'm still a bit confused in which exact version of firebase_auth this is available. I checked the PR that is referred above, but that didn't help. Anyone can advise?

markusaksli-nc · 2021-02-12T12:56:58Z

It isn't in stable yet but it will be soon
