Write To Firebase Database From Cloud Function Triggered By Pubsub
I'm trying to use a daily trigger to alter information in my Firebase database. I have a number of other cloud functions that work properly, but I can't seem to get this function t
Solution 1:
I found the answer to the problem. I had initialized the app according to Firebase's documentation on push notifications:
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert({
projectId: {projectId},
clientEmail: {email},
privateKey: {private key}
}),
databaseURL: {databaseURL}
});
But for some reason this caused issues. I switched it out with a simple
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
This seems to have fixed the issue, and push notifications are still working.
Solution 2:
The documentation explains that a function that performs asynchronous processing must return a JavaScript Promise:
Resolve functions that perform asynchronous processing by returning a JavaScript promise
Change your code to this:
exports.daily_job = functions.pubsub.topic('daily-tick').onPublish((event) => {
console.log("This job is run every day!");
const databaseRef = admin.database().ref('/accountActions/dailyDeletion');
return databaseRef.child('delete').set("Data has been deleted!").then(() => {
console.log('End of database clearing');
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Database clearing failed: ', error);
});
});
Solution 3:
Insert this command somewhere before exports.daily_job..
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
