Error with create-react-app: Failed to minify the code from firestore/src/validate.js:27 about nodejs-firestore HOT 12 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this. We are currently using some ES6 features that are compatible with Node 4. I will discuss with the rest of the team whether we can publish ES5-only versions.

@stephenplusplus - Do you mind weighing in on this?

Related issues:

• googleapis/google-cloud-node#2664

If the only thing stopping integration with our modules is that we use ES6 (I doubt this is the case, historically, users have run into many quirks), I think the user could probably find an ES6-to-5-ifier that could run during their compilation step.

More generally, we don't offer any direct support for our libraries outside of the conventional Node.js runtime environments. We would need a call from @alexander-fenster if we should reconsider.

Is anyone working on this? This is blocking anyone using create-react-app with Firestore.

@mylbp2ps3 did you ever find a fix?

from nodejs-firestore.

Turns out the issue is contained with firebase-admin - switching from Firestore to Realtime Database (which does not require the firebase-admin package in Node.js) enables CRA to minify on build.

I am using Realtime Database for now but dissatisfied with this solution because Firestore is the future.

We are not currently working on this, but would appreciate more user feedback.

Thanks for the response @schmidt-sebastian! I hope this moves up the priority ladder soon!

@mylbp2ps3, @kaiyuanneo et al, I'm able to build without a problem using the same build command cross-env NODE_PATH=src:src/components:src/containers:src/utils react-scripts build.

OS: Mac High Sierra
Node.js version: 8.9.1
npm version: 5.5.1

npm list react-scripts firebase-admin

What is your version of react-scripts? Have you been able to reproduce this error on a new CRA app? Also, I tend to have less issues when customizing CRA projects using yarn instead of npm, so you may want to try installing and running with yarn.

@mylbp2ps3 did you end up with a solution to this? We have the same exact problem. I know there are listed solutions provided above, but I'm not certain how to take any of those steps. #2 sounds plausible, but I don't even know where to begin with the @Google-Cloud module. I just would really like to get passed this validate.js file that's causing the build to fail.

@willhlaw I created a different CRA app and was able to build it without a problem. However, once I added the files that use the @Google-Cloud module under firestore, it fails.

This is my first time attemping to build a webapp that's dependent on so many modules and I'm pulling my hair out to get out of this one. I need the firestore dependency and going to the RealTime Database is not an option. I'd appreciate anyone's insight.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I installed everything w/in the last month. I should say that everything that I'm writing is all ES6. The admin template I bought was ES5, but I converted the stuff that I use to ES6. I'm also using Babel, so maybe I should except firebase-admin?

Windows 10 Home
node: v8.9.4
"firebase-admin": "^5.12.0",
"react-scripts": "1.1.1",

My site has been working fine for a few months and now all of a sudden I can't build it anymore.

Failed to minify the code from this file:
./node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/validate.js:27

I'm also using ES6. Using the Fireadmin template .

Update: Searching around it has to do with the firebase-admin package via this thread.

I had added it to the fireadmin template to add some additional functionality that I ended up not using. I uninstalled the package and the build ran fine. This may not be an option for everyone, but at least you'll know where to start looking.
