FirestoreAdminClient with emulator

[pgridharan]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not a feature, but using the FirestoreAdminClient with the emulator does not work 😅

Environment details

• OS type and version: MacOS 14.5 with Docker 26.1.4, Compose v2.27.1-desktop.1, Docker Desktop 4.31.0
• Python version: Python 3.11.9
• pip version: pip 24.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)
• google-cloud-firestore version: 2.17.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Set FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST
2. Use FirestoreAdminClient instance

Code example

FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST=0.0.0.0:8080

load_dotenv()

print(os.getenv("FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST"))                # Will print `0.0.0.0:8080`
admin_client = FirestoreAdminClient()
request = firestore_admin_v1.types.ListDatabasesRequest(
    parent=f"projects/test-project",
)
client.list_databases(request=request)                     # This should not matter since the emulator only supports one project AFAIK

Stack trace

google.api_core.exceptions.PermissionDenied: 403 Cloud Firestore API has not been used in project test-project before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/firestore.googleapis.com/overview?project=test-project then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

Thank you for the question. I am going to find someone with more Python knowledge to answer.

Is there any update?
