[Firestore] Cannot read property 'DEADLINE_EXCEEDED' of undefined while processing firestore query

Describe your environment

• Operating System version: mac os mojave 10.14.6 (18G3020)
• Firebase SDK version: 8.11.0
• Firebase Product: Firestore
• Node.js version: v12.16.2
• NPM version: 6.14.4

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

While executing a query from server side, I get this error in the catch TypeError: Cannot read property ‘DEADLINE_EXCEEDED’ of undefined\n at /…/server/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/build/src/util.js:125:99\n at Array.map (<anonymous>)\n at Object.isPermanentRpcError (/…/server/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/build/src/util.js:125:63)\n at Firestore._retry (/…/server/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/build/src/index.js:828:28)\n at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)\n at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)

Relevant Code:

 const r = firestore.collection('acollection');

        r
            .where('somefield', '=', somevalue)
            .where('timestampfield', '>=', unixformattimestamp)
            .get().catch()

my timestamp format is maybe incorrect, but the error reported is not appropriate I cannot reproduce the issue is I remove the second where condition

I saw this error while trying to run the firebase emulator to test functions. Turns out I had used a mix of yarn and npm to install dependencies. Cleaning out node_modules, removing lock files, and then re-installing with only either yarn or npm helped

@schmidt-sebastian thanks, you are right, forcing the dependency to 1.13 like this solved the issue

“resolutions”: { “**/google-gax”: “1.13.0” }

the message is clear now :

9 FAILED_PRECONDITION: The query requires an index. You can create it here: https://console.firebase.google.com/v1/r/project/xxxxx/firestore/indexes?create_comp
