Firebase Error in Next.js Netlify function

[jen]

Hey @elijahmanor,
A few questions!

1. Are you using next-on-netlify to build your site? GitHub - netlify/next-on-netlify: Build and deploy Next.js applications with Server-Side Rendering on Netlify!
2. Would you mind sharing your function code here so we can take a look?

I know that people do use firebase-admin in functions. I’m not sure about the offline persistence mentioned in that error though. If Firebase is trying to write to the file system, that will probably not work:

Firebase-tools trying to access ~/.config/configstore

Hi @mortond, welcome to the Community!! Yea, AWS lambda functions only give you write access to a /tmp folder and access to the pwd… Functions are run in a very limited environment. But, yes, you are correct in that you’ll need to use methods that don’t need local access or if you are able to configure where to store your firebase config, you could try moving it to the /tmp folder and see if that helps. Otherwise, you’d need to go with Alternative solution.
