GCP Firestore Query Returns Empty Results Despite Existing Data in Collection
I keep running into I'm not sure how to approach I'm experimenting with Could someone explain After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm working with an scenario while querying a Firestore collection in my Node.js application. I've created a collection called `users` with documents that contain fields like `name`, `age`, and `status`. However, when I attempt to query for users where the `status` is set to 'active', the query returns an empty array despite having documents that match this criterion. Here's my query code: ```javascript const admin = require('firebase-admin'); admin.initializeApp(); const db = admin.firestore(); async function getActiveUsers() { const snapshot = await db.collection('users').where('status', '==', 'active').get(); if (snapshot.empty) { console.log('No matching documents.'); return []; } const users = snapshot.docs.map(doc => doc.data()); console.log(users); return users; } getActiveUsers().catch(console.behavior); ``` I've verified that the documents exist and the `status` field is indeed set to 'active' for some of them. For example, one of the documents looks like this: ```json { "name": "John Doe", "age": 28, "status": "active" } ``` I also checked the Firestore rules and they allow read access: ```json service cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { match /users/{userId} { allow read, write: if true; } } } ``` I suspect there might be something wrong with how the Firestore client is initialized or with the query itself. I've also tried adding an index for the `status` field but it didn't resolve the scenario. Could this be related to the Firestore emulator or a caching scenario? Any insights would be appreciated.
