I have the following python snippet...

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import firestore

cred = credentials.Certificate("./cert.json")
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)

client = firestore.client()
client.

When I type the dot on the last line, no code completion options come up. On the 'firestore' variable, there are code completion options that come up.

I have the Python and Pylance extensions installed in VSCode. Is this a configuration issue, or is there something about what the client() method is returning, that it is not possible to infer its type?

Turns out there was already an open issue for this on the github repo, which also included a temporary (poor) workaround.

from firebase_admin import firestore
from google.cloud.firestore import Client as FirestoreClient # importing the return type of firestore.client()
db: FirestoreClient = firestore.client() # Adding an annotation to my db variable, to enable completion and syntax checking
