[Error] You may specify one with an environment variable named "GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT"

I have this error. I followed the README.

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 15) Error: Sorry, we cannot connect to Cloud Services without a project ID. You may specify one with an environment variable named "GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT".

Works!!!

• Navigate to the Google Cloud Console API & Services page

• Select Create Credentials and create a Service account key

  1. Select App engine default service account
  2. Rename to defaul-service-key.json and save inside src/ folder, like this: src/default-service-key.json

• Change src/firestore.ts and replace in lines 25 to 28:

const serviceAccount = require(‘./default-service-key.json’);

admin.initializeApp({ credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount), databaseURL: https://${googleCloudProjectId}.firebaseio.com, })

• Run npm run build
• Run npm run start:local

Okay, thanks for verifying the flow. I will have to update the README.
