Missing export for functions and getFuncitons

[gitdast]

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

Windows, Node.js
Firebase SDK version: latest firebase-admin = 10.2.0
Firebase Product: Cloud Functions (+ Auth, Firestore,...)
Node.js version: 16
NPM version: 8.1.0

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

I want to use TaskQueue with Cloud Functions as described here https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/task-functions,
but neither firebase-functions SDK v3.21.1 nor firebase-admin SDK v10.2.0 has export for all described functions.
There is missing export for getFunctions in firebase-admin v10.2.0.
(Why is not TaskQueue related stuff present in firebase-functions SDK and we have to use two SDK in CF...that's another question.)

Steps to reproduce:

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?
This could be a description, log/console output, etc.

Relevant Code:

import {getFunctions} from 'firebase-admin' - this will never work

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

I have found an option how to import by

import {getFunctions} from 'firebase-admin/functions';

but there is another issue - this function getFunctions has no option to specify the region - so all queues must be in us-central1 ?


As I'm not able to specify the region - it will trigger "Queue not found."
If I place the queue in the us-central1 - it's working OK.

Hi @gitdast ,

You are correct, the right way to import functions types is

import { getFunctions, TaskOptions } from 'firebase-admin/functions'

The default region is us-central1, but you can specify a different region in the getFunctions().taskQueue() API by passing it in the function resource name.

getFunctions().taskQueue('locations/{location}/functions/{functionName}')

See the reference docs for more information:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/admin/node/firebase-admin.functions.functions#functionstaskqueue

Thank you, it was hard to find these two information.
Maybe consider exposing getFunctions from the top module and unify the syntax with the firebase SDK...

@gitdast did you find a solution? I'm still facing the same issue: #1761

Yes, as mentioned above - import {getFunctions} from 'firebase-admin/functions';

There is an export in node_modules/firebase-admin/lib/functions/index.d.ts

@dastrouvy I’m not using Babel/ES6, do you know the similar syntax with require?

@dastrouvy upgrading to firebase-admin to latest fixed the issue.

Upgrading to the latest firebase-admin (11.1.0) allowed me to access the queueing functions it is incompatible with the latest firebase-functions (3.24.1). Breaking changes for me
