I am trying to add a new user with firebase-admin and then to save a new document in a custom collection.
Sample code following:
admin.auth().createUser(user)
.then((record) => {
user.uid = record.uid;
userCollection.doc(record.uid).set({...user})
.then(writeResult => {
resolve();
})
.catch(reason => {
reject(reason)
});
})
.catch((err) => {
reject(err);
});
The problem is, if the userCollection.doc(record.uid).set({...user}) fails, I expect the nested catch (with reason as param) to be called. Instead, always the outer one is called (with err as param).
Is there something wrong with the SDK or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
CodePudding user response：
This is because you don't return the promise returned by userCollection.doc(record.uid).set() and therefore you don't return the promises returned by the subsequent then() and catch() methods. In other words you don't return the promises chain.
But, actually, you should chain your Promises as follows and avoid a then()/catch() pyramid.
admin
.auth().createUser(user)
.then((record) => {
user.uid = record.uid;
return userCollection
.doc(record.uid)
.set({ ...user })
})
.catch((err) => {
// Here you catch the potential errors of
// the createUser() AND set() methods
console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
});
