Service account does not recognize project_id

[vicdotdevelop]

Hey,

I wanted to use your library to upload a json with an auto-generated id to firestore. As I was using firestore-import-export and it worked quite well, I wanted to switch over to this lib, as it has the auto-generated id. Nevertheless, when I try to call initializeApp with the serviceAccount it says:

Error: Service account object must contain a string "project_id" property.

Even though it has this value in the serviceaccount.json file I have downloaded from firebase. It is also the same file that was working with the firestore-import-export lib.

any help :) ?

One thing that I can think of is to manually add the project_id to the serviceAccount. Let me know if it works.

the project_id is actually in the serviceAccount.json file. @dalenguyen

Does your serviceAccount.json look something like this?

Yes it looks exactly like this

Hi @victorblaess, it's hard to tell what happened. It would be great if you can share some snapshots of your project structure. The command & errors that occur. You can sensor sensitive information before posting.
