Firebase not working at all on Godot 3.4

ipex

I am working on a project where I want players to be able to create there own account and to log into tham.Also to save data for each player.

Since I added Firebase plugin I am getting this errors:

[Firebase] >> The value for measurementId is not configured. If you are not planning to use it, ignore this message. [Firebase] >> The value for clientId is not configured. If you are not planning to use it, ignore this message. [Firebase] >> The value for clientSecret is not configured. If you are not planning to use it, ignore this message. [Firebase] >> The value for domainUriPrefix is not configured. If you are not planning to use it, ignore this message. [Firebase] >> The value for functionsGeoZone is not configured. If you are not planning to use it, ignore this message...........

Those are not all error messages I am getting but they are pretty much the same as these ones.

My question is how can I connect firebase with Godot 3.4 Engine???

Not sure about Firebase, never used it. Your post was caught in the moderation queue. If you want to post freely in the future, please verify your account via the email we sent you. Thanks.

What plugin are you using? Is it in GDScript, C#, or a different language?

If the plugin has a GitHub repository or similar, it may be worth mentioning the issue there as well, as the developer may not be on the Godot forums and so they wouldn't see this discussion.

I am using Godot Firebase 4.2 plugin, and I already posted repository on GitHub about 7 days ago but no one responded.And I am also coding in GDScript.

Ah okay. :+1:

How is it not working? Is it not correctly sending the data to the Firebase server?

Looking at the errors in the opening post, it seems like the problem is something isn't setup correctly and/or it is not reading the data from a config file. My hunch is that it probably is a setup issue that is causing the problem based on the error messages, so I would see what steps are needed to initialize and setup the Firebase plugin and see if there is something there missing.

I'm going to look into it in a second.

Thats right.On godot 3.2 you needed to make overide.cfg file where you would store data relevent for firebase like:apiKey,authDomain,appId.... But its seems that now something is changed becouse I added overide.cfg exacly how it should be but it does not work. I personly think that the problem is with reading data from override.cfg file or meybe its not that file anymore!In any case I dont know how I can chack that out If you know please tell me.

Thanks for helping!

So the add-on works, I'm testing it now. However the documentation is completely wrong. Not sure why developers skimp out, the documentation is as important (or more important) than the code itself. No point in writing code if no one can use it. In any case, I found a video tutorial that explains it well.

Thanks for all your help It means a lot.I will try and let you know if it helped.

Man, I was fricking with firebase for a few days and still can't make it work. It builds, but crashes on my phone once run. Also, android folder looks kinda sus in comparison to tutorial. If I add anything to assets folder inside the build, it simply wipes everything out and, well, builds a new version

Anyone, help!

TwistedTwigleg

Welcome to the forums @RenegadeCash!

When you run it on your phone, do you get any error logs or anything? Maybe it could help pin down what exactly is causing the crash.

RenegadeCash

The thing is: 3.2.3 is supposed to work because it has different android template folder structure, but seems to require adifferent Android SDK as well (the latest one doesn't satisfy the editor and it doesn't see it as an SDK at all)

So, it looked like a way around, but it's not.

3.4.2 is plugin incompatible, because it's impossible to set up (android folder is structured and acts differently )

RenegadeCash

Honestly, I like Godot very much for its beautiful interface, system and code editor, as well as GDScript itself. But the more I learn, the more I hate it ?

TwistedTwigleg

Hey @RenegadeCash - sorry about the delay in replying! I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to get back until now.

It sounds like the plugin may need updating for Godot 3.4. If there isn't an issue already, I would highly suggest making an issue on the GitHub repository for the plugin. Even if the developer(s) are currently not working on the project, it will hopefully be able to help others who run into the same issue to know that it needs updating.

If you want to use Firebase in Godot, I would suggest potentially using C# with the Mono version of Godot and using a C# library for Firebase. The C# libraries should be a bit more stable since they can be used outside of Godot, and it should still work on Android.

It does seem like the plugin system for Android is pretty confusing!

ipex

it would mean a lot to me if someone could make a video tutorial on how to make lastest version of Godot work with lastest version of Firebase plugin.Becouse on youtube you can find Godot Firebase tutorial made like 8 mounth ago, and plugin is diffrent now so I really dont know how to make it work.

If someone could do that it would mean a lot, or at least explain to me how to connect Godot with Firebase, couse I really dont know what am I doing wrong here.Honestly it makes me angry most of the time when I am working on this project of mine.

I recently updated to Firebase 4.2 and am using it with Godot 3.4 so perhaps I can help.

You're right the override.cfg seems to be useless now. You now have to take them strings and place it a new file called .env, which should be placed in the godot-firebase folder as explained here: https://github.com/GodotNuts/GodotFirebase/wiki/Installation-and-Activation

Here's what I did: I copied over the contents from the override.cfg into a new file (which I created) called .env in the godot-firebase folder.

To make it work in Android I had to add *.env to the Project > Export > Android > Resources, under the "Filter to export non resources files/folders".

At least that's what seems to work for me. HTH.
