Description

When using Firebase service account JSON file and use flutterfire reconfigure instead of flutterfire configure on CI, it fails.

This was requested before at #232

Steps to reproduce

Add Firebase service account JSON to your secrets and try running the following on CI:

name: Add Firebase service account credentials files
env:
FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}
run: |
echo $FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT > /tmp/google-application-credentials.json
name: Configure Firebase
env:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: /tmp/google-application-credentials.json
run: flutterfire configure ...... // Complete your project configurations

It should run successfully, but If you use flutterfire reconfigure, it'll fail with the following error:

Failed to write android google-services.json file write for build configuration: "src/dev". Please report this issue at:https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli. Exception: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'Map<String, dynamic>' in type cast

Expected behavior

I expect flutterfire reconfigure to work on CI.

@AhmedLSayed9 - Is there a stack trace to go with it?

What does your firebase.json look like for android, specifically for this build configuration src/dev. Redact any sensitive strings, only concerned with structure.

russellwheatley · 2025-01-24T13:20:03Z

Have you reproducing locally?

It's going to be one of these if it is android I think:

https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/blob/main/packages/flutterfire_cli/lib/src/commands/reconfigure.dart#L393
https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/blob/main/packages/flutterfire_cli/lib/src/commands/reconfigure.dart#L415

Is the firebase.json in the root of the project?

The firebase.json configuration seems correct to me. A local repro would be helpful.

AhmedLSayed9 · 2025-01-24T13:28:10Z

flutterfire reconfigure works fine locally

AhmedLSayed9 · 2025-01-24T13:30:15Z

The difference is locally I'm logged in using firebase login but at the CI I'm using firebase service account credentials.

AhmedLSayed9 · 2025-01-24T13:31:14Z

Is the firebase.json in the root of the project?

Yes

russellwheatley · 2025-01-24T14:24:43Z

The difference is locally I'm logged in using firebase login but at the CI I'm using firebase service account credentials.

I don't think this should make a difference. Not sure what the problem is, It's saying something that is expected to be a map (from those lines I pasted earlier), is null.

You ought to put some debug logs on firebase.json path, content, etc to find out why map is empty. It's clearly a difference between your CI and local environment.

AhmedLSayed9 · 2025-01-24T14:47:35Z

@russellwheatley

I was able to reproduce it using a minimal sample: https://github.com/AhmedLSayed9/firebase_test

Check the workflow: https://github.com/AhmedLSayed9/firebase_test/actions/runs/12951734235/job/36127428141

To reproduce:

Clone the repo, add a firebase project to it and update firebase.json file.
Add an environment secret to your repo that includes the service account json with the name FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
Update --project=test-c7826 at .github/workflows/build.yml to your project id.
Try running the CI workflow

russellwheatley · 2025-02-03T13:26:48Z

@AhmedLSayed9 - the problem is; even if I can reproduce this on your CI, I still wouldn't know the root cause until I can reproduce locally. Like I said:

You ought to put some debug logs on firebase.json path, content, etc to find out why map is empty. It's clearly a difference between your CI and local environment.

If you find the root cause or find a way to reproduce locally, I can fix the problem.

AhmedLSayed9 · 2025-02-03T22:31:10Z

@russellwheatley

I was able to reproduce it locally, steps:

Clone/Download the repo, add a firebase project to it and update firebase.json file to yours.
Download your Firebase service account json file and add it to the project directory.

Run the following commands at the project directory:

firebase logout

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="your-file-name.json"

Test the following command:

firebase projects:list --debug

Result (Succeed):
