Summary


I am trying to test out the authorization with cloud functions by serving a local web app and calling them (as emulators can't emulate auth? See: Docs). My issue is that when I click the button on the served page that calls the cloud function, it tries to access the cloud function at: https://us-central1-MY-PROJECT.cloudfunctions.net/returnAuth resulting in a Cors issue. How do I get my web app to call the local cloud functions for testing? My suspicion is it is something inside of the firebaseConfig inside of the index.html?

I realize I will probably need to enable Cors, as the port the cloud functions are served on is different. But that is a different question from what I am asking.

Serving


I am serving my cloud functions as well as the index.html via the cmd firebase serve which results in:

i  functions: Watching "/Users/plum/firebase-test/test1/functions" for Cloud Functions...
i  hosting: Serving hosting files from: public
✔  hosting: Local server: http://localhost:5000
✔  functions[returnAuth]: http function initialized (http://localhost:5001/MY_PROJECT/us-central1/returnAuth).

Error


Access to fetch at 'https://us-central1-MY-PROJECT.cloudfunctions.net/returnAuth' from origin 'http://localhost:5000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Simple Cloud Function


const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const { exampleDataSnapshotChange } = require('firebase-functions-test/lib/providers/database');


admin.initializeApp();


exports.returnAuth = functions.https.onCall( (data, context) => {

    //const uid = context.auth.uid;
    //const name = context.auth.token.name || null;
    const test = context.auth
    return test
})

    Emulators do support Auth. You can authenticate and it will work with emulators fine. They can't *emulate* auth. So you're using the real service instead of a local emulated mock. – Kato Aug 27 '20 at 16:23
  • @Kato Yea poor word choice by me but that is what I mean – plum 0 Aug 27 '20 at 18:10

Simple fix, reviewed the docs and realized there is a setting for functions to use an emulator. Docs

Adding

firebase.functions().useFunctionsEmulator("http://localhost:5001");

to my index.html script worked.
