FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Can't determine Firebase Database URL - firebase

I deployed a React app, but I'm receiving the error message:
#firebase/database: FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Can't determine Firebase Database URL. Be sure to include a Project ID when calling firebase.initializeApp().
How do I fix this issue?
My firebase.js file currently looks like this...
import firebase from "firebase";
firebase.initializeApp({
apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
projectId: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
appId: process.env.REACT_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID,
});
const database = firebase.database();
export const auth = firebase.auth();
export default database;
My .env.local file looks like this (I redacted full details)
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXmRv4
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXd99c.firebaseapp.com
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXproject-fd99c
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXd99c.appspot.com
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX706
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX54da93

Your configuration object (the one you pass to initializeApp) is missing a databaseURL property. It's unclear from your question why it's missing or what you may have done to omit it, but that's what you need. You can get the string value for that property in the Firebase console for your app under "project settings".

WebConfig doesn't return measurementId

I am trying to enable firebase analytics in my existing firebase project. The project is a static React website that only uses Firebase hosting.
Following this get start tutorial, I am getting the following error in my console:
Ignored "config" command. Invalid arguments found
Searching how to solve this problem, I found this comment and checked that my webConfig get request is not returning the measurementId. However I couldn't find any info about how to correct it.
//firebase.js
// Import the functions you need from the SDKs you need
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getAnalytics} from "firebase/analytics";
// Your web app's Firebase configuration
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "{ApiKey}",
authDomain: "{projectId}.firebaseapp.com",
projectId: "{projectId}",
storageBucket: "{projectId}.appspot.com",
messagingSenderId: "{messagingSenderId}",
appId: "{appId}",
measurementId: "{measurementId}",
};
// Initialize Firebase
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
export const analytics = getAnalytics(app);
WebConfig call (Http 200, Get):
response:
{
"projectId": "{projectId}",
"appId": "{appId}",
"storageBucket": "{projectId}.appspot.com",
"authDomain": "{projectId}.firebaseapp.com",
"messagingSenderId": "{messagingSenderId}"
}
Is there any config that I am missing? what should I do to make it work?
There could be something wrong with the stream for your web app that’s why the measurementId is not being configured. You could try to unlink and relink to your Google Analytics integration which usually resolves any broken integration. Make sure that the currently linked GA property is the one you’re going to use for relinking to avoid losing your data.

Error: FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Cannot parse Firebase url. Please use https://<YOUR FIREBASE>.firebaseio.com

I'm making an app that writes a waiting list in the firebase realtime databse, but when I try to run this simple bit of code, I get this error (Note- I'm running this on web):
class FirebaseMethods {
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.instance;
void createPartyWaiting(String partyCode, String partyHostName) async {
partyCode = partyCode.trim();
DataSnapshot data = await database.ref("e").get();
print(data.value);
}
}
and i'm calling it as-
await FirebaseMethods().createPartyWaiting("PartyCode123", "Adam");
But when I call it, I get this error-
Error: FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Cannot parse Firebase url. Please use https://<YOUR FIREBASE>.firebaseio.com

I've also found out that there's this optional arguement to the initilaziation method-
But after adding my databaseUrl here, I got this error-

at firebase_core_web.FirebaseCoreWeb.new.initializeApp (http://localhost:53659/packages/firebase_core_web/firebase_core_web.dart.lib.js:248:27)
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix this? Thanks!
For anyone who has used $ flutterfire configure to configure firebase to your flutter project as shown in here before adding Realtime Database, you will have to run the command again to reconfigure your project or add "databaseURL" to the FirebaseOptions in your lib/firebase_options.dart.
Your lib/firebase_options.dart should look something like this:
// inside lib/firebase_options.dart
// ...
static const FirebaseOptions web = FirebaseOptions(
apiKey: '...',
appId: '...',
messagingSenderId: '...',
projectId: 'project-id',
authDomain: 'project-id.firebaseapp.com',
databaseURL: 'https://your-database-id.firebasedatabase.app', // IMPORTANT!
storageBucket: 'project-id.appspot.com',
measurementId: '...',
);
// ...
Since you're configuring your Firebase project (for web) by passing the configuration data to Firebase.initializeApp, you should also include the URL for your database there:
Firebase.initializeApp(
options: const FirebaseOptions(
apiKey: "apikey",
authDomain: "authDomain",
databaseURL: "the URL for your database", // 👈
projectId: "projectId",
storageBucket: "storageBucket",
messagingSenderId: "messagingSenderId",
appId: "appId"));
You can find this URL in your browser by going to the Realtime Database panel in the Firebase console:
I'm not sure why the databaseURL doesn't show in your auto-complete though, as I have it in all of my Dart configs (most of which are generated by the FlutterFire CLI).
If entering the databaseURL manually gives an error message, I recommend checking if you're on the latest version of the libraries (although I don't recall this ever not being present).
I recreated the flutter and firebase project with a new app id, and it worked.

React Native: which firebase storage npm package to use?

A learner in React native and Firebase.
Here is my code to intialize firebase storage and fetch url for a storage path:
import { firebase } from '#react-native-firebase/storage';
var firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "...",
authDomain: "...",
databaseURL: "...",
projectId: "...",
storageBucket: "...",
messagingSenderId: "...",
appId: "...",
measurementId: "..."
};
// Initialize Firebase
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const storage = firebase.storage();
let imageRef = firebase.storage().ref('photos/flower.png');
console.log(imageRef);
I expect imageRef to be containing url for the Firebase storage's image file.
But I get the error:
ERROR TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating
'_firebase.firebase.storage')
I feel, the error is due to wrong package name import.
Could someone guide me on what is wrong?
I expect imageRef to be containing url for the Firebase storage's image file.
Firstly, you should follow the example in the documentation.
The core documentation also says:
Unlike the Firebase Web SDK, there is no need to manually call the initializeApp method with your project credentials.
So you shouldn't have to call initializeApp at all if you set things up correctly.
ref() returns a Reference type object, which is just a pointer to the file. If you want an HTTPS type URL to download the content of that file, you will need to use its getDownloadURL method to get that.
import storage from '#react-native-firebase/storage';
let imageRef = storage().ref('photos/flower.png');
imageRef.getDownloadURL().then(url => {
console.log(url);
})

Firebase DatabaseURL - configuring firebase

I'm trying to use Firebase with my react app.
I have a file with the config as follows:
import * as firebase from 'firebase';
const config = {
apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL: process.env.FIREBASE_DB_URL,
projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGE_ID,
}
if (!firebase.apps.length) {
firebase.initializeApp(config);
}
const database = firebase.database();
const auth = firebase.auth()
export {firebase, auth, database };
When I try this, I get an error that says:
FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Can't determine Firebase Database URL. Be sure to include databaseURL option when calling firebase.initializeApp().
I can't understand this error because I have config included in the call to initialise the app. Config includes the database URL.
How do you initialise the database?
Same issue here.
Context: Gatsby - gatsby-node.js
For SOME reason it dsnt like my env db url. need to hardcode just that value.
const config = {
apiKey: process.env.GATSBY_FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.GATSBY_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL: "https://blabla.firebaseio.com",
projectId: process.env.GATSBY_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.GATSBY_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.GATSBY_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID
}
and it worked.
cya
You don't need that if statement around the firebase.initializeApp(config);
import * as firebase from 'firebase';
const config = {
apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL: process.env.FIREBASE_DB_URL,
projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGE_ID,
}
firebase.initializeApp(config);
You shouldn't need to export these objects, once you initialise the app it should be usable within the project without exporting.
const database = firebase.database();
const auth = firebase.auth()
export {firebase, auth, database };
Don't initialize firebase more than once.

I think it is a copy paste error :)
in .env file
REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL
but i use
process.env.REACT_APP_DB
Please check it , it worked fine
import firebase from 'firebase/app'
import 'firebase/database';
const config = {
apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_APIKEY,
authDomain: process.env.REACT_APP_AUTHDOMAIN,
databaseURL: process.env.REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL,
projectId: process.env.REACT_APP_PID,
storageBucket: process.env.REACT_APP_SB,
messagingSenderId: process.env.REACT_APP_SID,
appId: process.env.REACT_APP_APPID,
measurementId: process.env.REACT_APP_MID
};
firebase.initializeApp(config);
const database = firebase.database();
export { database };
export default firebase;
I know this a old thread, but I was facing this issue since last night and I spent hours racking my brain to figure out what was wrong with my code. To clarify, all .env variables were being read by cra except for the firebase database url.
I tried the following steps:
checked for spelling errors, both the .env variables and also to see if the url was correct, it was.
I tried printing the .env variables to console & screen both, but when I did the values were undefined for all env variables. This really should not happen and I was baffled.
Tried various things, changed the .env variable name for FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL to something random like XYZ (just to make it work somehow) as I thought some env variables were colliding due to same name, still didn't work.
The only way it worked was har-coding it, but this was an hack and not a solution.
The thing to note was point 2. When printing the env vars even after hardcoding the result was 'undefined' on console.
So nothing was wrong, the code should work, but it didn't why?
Out of pure randomness, I opened the task manager (windows). I notices node servers were running, but I had already closed the react dev server!
I killed the processes and restarted the react server, and now it was working.
The issue was stale node servers running in background and nothing was wrong with the code. This also resolved point 2, the console.log statements were working now.
This might not be solution to everyone's issues but it might be or was to the asker's question 3 yrs back, as there is nothing syntactically wrong with their code.
Restarting the development server solves the issue, if you have just written the code and trying to compile it throws this error. So you can try to exit the batch job and again restart the server.
I also got this uncaught error related to firebase.Atlast Finally error should be solved.
Actually when we are using environment variables they should not pass in to bundle.js file which is a client side javascript file..We can use "DefinePlugin" which is a webpack plugin that should manually pass those env variables in to bundle.js file.
Seems like your code is just fine. Just print and check process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL and its exactly same as mentioned in firebase console. (If you are using create react app, dont forget to add REACT_APP_ to all your env variables, https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables/)
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/auth';
import 'firebase/firestore';
import 'firebase/functions';
import 'firebase/storage';
const appConfiguration = {
apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL: process.env.REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL,
projectId: process.env.REACT_APP_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.REACT_APP_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.REACT_APP_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
appId: process.env.REACT_APP_APP_ID,
measurementId: process.env.REACT_APP_MEASUREMENT_ID
};
export const session_type = firebase.auth.Auth.Persistence.LOCAL;
export const app = firebase.initializeApp(appConfiguration);
export const auth = app.auth();
export const db = app.firestore();
export const storage = app.storage();
will get the job done.
I just paste the hardcode config and it worked for me
const config = {
apiKey: "AIzaSyBA2C8S7****************-gCw",
authDomain: "e**********-2aa4c.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://************.firebaseio.com",
projectId: "ea********2aa4c",
storageBucket: "ea************2aa4c.appspot.com",
messagingSenderId: "1765********26",
}
Check whether you have set environment variables using require('dotenv').config({ 'path': '.env.development' }). Also make sure that first you the set env variable as above, and then after insert firebaseConfig in Plugins:
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY), // this will set 'process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY' to actual key in firebase.js cause we do not directly set those value here to make it secure excluding .env files.
'process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN),
'process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL),
'process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID),
'process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET),
'process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID),
'process.env.FIREBASE_APP_ID': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_APP_ID),
'process.env.FIREBASE_MEASUREMENTID': JSON.stringify(process.env.FIREBASE_MEASUREMENTID)
})` )
For some reason databaseURL read string values in "",
for example if we write:
const fbAuthDomain = "text";
const fbDatabaseURL = "text";
const firebaseConfig = {
authDomain: fbAuthDomain,
databaseURL: fbDatabaseURL
};
// and then:
console.log(firebaseConfig.authDomain); // returns "text"
console.log(firebaseConfig.databaseURL); // returns text
sorry for js example
for me, helped doing variable fbDatabaseURL in json from there i process.env in config - not:
{
"fbDatabaseURL": "\"https://someurl.firebasedatabase.app\""
}
but:
{
"fbDatabaseURL": "https://someurl.firebasedatabase.app"
}
Same issue here but after putting firebaseconfig in componentDidMount() it will solved.
componentDidMount(){
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL:process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL,
projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID
};
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const myitem = firebase.database().ref('items/').once('value',snapshot=>{
console.log(snapshot.val())
})
}
In the firebase.js, when I removed the blank between databaseURL: and process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL., it worked.
const config = {
apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL:process.env.FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL,
projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID
};

Firebase: Update Firestore Fails If Document Does Not Exist [duplicate]

This is my very basic Cloud Function:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
const db = admin.firestore()
exports.createdNewAccount = functions.auth.user().onCreate(event => {
return db.collection('users').doc(event.data.uid).update({
"creationDate" : Date.now()
})
})
And I get the error
Error: no entity to update: app
What is wrong with my code?
Most likely, the document for event.data.uid does not exist. The documentation for update() states:
The update will fail if applied to a document that does not exist.
Use set() instead.
I faced a similar error when testing my app locally with the Firebase emulator. My firebase config file looked like:
import firebase from "firebase";
import "firebase/firestore";
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: <FIREBASE_API_KEY>,
authDomain: <FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN>,
databaseURL: <FIREBASE_DB_URL>,
projectId: <FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID>,
storageBucket: <FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET>,
messagingSenderId: <FIREBASE_MSG_SENDER_ID>,
appId: <FIREBASE_APP_ID>,
measurementId: <FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID>,
};
// Initialize Firebase
const firebaseApp = firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
// for local instances, use the emulator to connect the frontend to firestore & functions
if (location.hostname === "localhost") {
firebase.firestore().settings({
host: "localhost:8080",
ssl: false,
});
firebase.functions().useFunctionsEmulator("http://localhost:5001");
}
Turns out my local Firestore database (expected to be running at localhost:8080) wasn't being hit. So my cloud functions were trying to write to a non-existent db. The underlying issue was that I also had my backend initializing to a different database:
// functions/index.js
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
var serviceAccount = require("./serviceAccount.json");
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: "https://other-firebase-project-id.firebaseio.com",
});
The solution (originally adapted from a Fireship tutorial) was to remove this [incorrect] re-initialization of the database altogether:
// functions/index.js
...
admin.initializeApp();
...
After all, according to the docs, we can initialize the Firebase Admin SDK without parameters since the FIREBASE_CONFIG environment variable is included automatically in Cloud Functions for Firebase functions that are deployed via the Firebase CLI.
FWIW, also be sure to set the correct Firebase project on the CLI. Doing so with this allows the Firebase CLI to hook Functions/Firestore to the right project:
firebase use <desired-firebase-project-id>
If you have multiple Firebase projects, you can list them out with: firebase projects:list
