There seem to be many examples for @google-cloud/functions-emulator on the web but this has become deprecated now. I went through latest firebase docs Test functions interactively where we can test the functions locally using shell.
I tried debugging in VSCode but whenever I hit the debugger button, VSCode gives me this warning and then halt debugging immediately:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe --inspect-brk=46655 functions\lib\index.js
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:46655/c8545176-06c0-4b95-80ec-bcba4ca9d90e
For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
Debugger attached.
Warning, FIREBASE_CONFIG and GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variables are missing. Initializing firebase-admin will fail
setup.js:53
I also initialized the admin object in ts/js code but debugger gave the same issue:
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
if (!admin.apps.length)
admin.initializeApp({
projectId: "...",
appId: "...",
databaseURL: "...",
storageBucket: "...",
apiKey: "...",
authDomain: "...",
messagingSenderId: "...",
measurementId: "..."
});

I wonder if it's all possible to put breakpoints and run the debugger in VSCode for latest firebase functions.
