With Firebase Admin not able to create user in local emulator

See original GitHub issue

Team

I’m trying to create user with my Node JS backend with the following code

const admin = require("firebase-admin");
process.env.FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST = "localhost:8080";
process.env['FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST'] = 'localhost:8080';
var serviceAccount = require("../service-account.json");


 admin.initializeApp({
    projectId:"tndfc-app"
  });

  let data = {
        email: "santhoshlfms@gmail.com", password: "12345678"
    }
    try {
        
        admin.firestore().settings({
            host:"localhost:33007",
            ssl:false
        })
        const user = await admin.auth().createUser({ email: data.email, password: data.password, emailVerified: false, displayName: 'John Doe', disabled: false });
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err)
    }

I tried to read similar git issues threads, but I’m not able to connect to emulator and create user , is this actually supported in firebase emulator right now ? version used : “firebase”: “^9.1.2”, “firebase-admin”: “^9.12.0”

That error implies the SDK is still operating in the non-emulator mode. If the emulator mode was correctly enabled, the implementation will skip the credential lookup entirely:

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-admin-node/blob/b26501b023194b664df5d81f526e237f975fae71/src/auth/auth-api-request.ts#L231-L237

I’d start by checking your env variables. You have mentioned FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST. The correct variable for Auth is FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST.
