createUser fails about nativescript-plugin-firebase HOT 12 CLOSED

Did you enable email/password authentication in your Firebase console?

@EddyVerbruggen its my first time using this new firebase console. But it seems activated

from nativescript-plugin-firebase.

It does indeed - what's the errorMessage in the popup you see after createUser fails?

I was also getting the same error. In my case the issue was I was entering password as "test", and due to that firebase was returning FirebaseAuthWeakPasswordException (firebase excepts at-least 6 character password.)

Similarly firebase will also throw an exception, if email is malformed or user with the email is already exists.

You can check the proper error by doing below changes in firebase.android.js file.

Inside createUser method, instead of returning message Creating a user failed, we can send message like Creating a user failed + task.getException().getReason() as shown below.

var onCompleteListener = new com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnCompleteListener({
          onComplete: function (task) {
            if (!task.isSuccessful() && task.getException()) {
              reject("Creating a user failed. " + (task.getException().getReason ? task.getException().getReason() : task.getException()));
            } else {
              // the AuthStateListener.onAuthStateChanged callback will resolve the promise
            }
          }
});

It will be great if we can accommodate this change in the plugin. So it will be very useful to other users also.

Thanks, added something similar in my current dev version, will land in the next release.

Why closing this? Firebase has 8 letters. Why would that happen for me? @EddyVerbruggen

Better to ask the creator of the SDK - if they think 'Firebase' is not a strong password for a Firebase user then that's on them, right? This issue was about exposing the error to the plugin dev which will be done in the next release.

@EddyVerbruggen yeah! makes sense. thanks

from nativescript-plugin-firebase.

@cescoferraro did you ever get past this by changing password to something stronger?
I'm encountering same thing with a password that is def more than 6 characters and should be consider strong... What ended up working for you. I still see this error when trying to use createUser:

Error Domain=FIRAuthErrorDomain Code=17999 "An internal error has occurred, print and inspect the error details for more information." UserInfo={error_name=ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR, NSUnderlyingError=0x7e62b130 {Error Domain=FIRAuthInternalErrorDomain Code=2 "(null)"}, NSLocalizedDescription=An internal error has occurred, print and inspect the error details for more information.}
