FIREBASE_CONFIG and GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variables are missing.

Hey I’m just upgrading from the functions emulator, and trying to use the new functions framework, it appears to be working okay, but the console.logs, do not print to the console. I want to also do some testing with some admin SDK stuff but I get this error message.

FIREBASE_CONFIG and GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variables are missing.

Warning, FIREBASE_CONFIG and GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variables are missing. Initializing firebase-admin will fail

Hi @stot3, if you’re using Firebase SDKs, we recommend running firebase serve command to emulate your functions. The documentation can be found here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator. You’re getting this error because the Firebase CLI sets both FIREBASE_CONFIG and GCLOUD_PROJECT env vars for your functions so that they have the needed information to work when deployed, whereas the functions framework emulator does not do this extra step.

In case this helps anyone else in the future. The issue with the local emulator is with debugging.
I was able to get functions-framework working with a Firebase project by setting a GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variable. the framework will then auto-calculate the corresponding FIREBASE_CONFIG values based off the GCLOUD_PROJECT variable only.
