Login to firebase using gcloud service account

I have functions deployed to gcloud functions and i want to configure CI/CD for deploying this functions from gitlab. To do any operations from gitlab i need to get firebase auth token with

firebase login:ci

command.

The problem is that i need to get this token using gcloud service account, which is not displayed in browser, when i run

firebase login:ci

I have this service account data (project_id, private_key, private_key_id, etc.)

How should i authorize using this acc?

Solution

  • If you set an environment variable called GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS as a path pointing to your service account JSON file, the Firebase CLI will automatically pick that up and use it to authorize commands. You don't need to be logged in or provide a --token argument when this is the case.
