How to migrate to the new version?

[dcaud]

I've got an existing app that uses firebase. After upgrading firebase to 1.0, the firebase stuff doesn't work (e.g., no providers are shown). I saw a message to use firebaseUIContainer, but switching that for useFirebaseUI didn't work.

I can try to create repro's of my specific issues, but I'm wondering if there are any obvious steps needed to upgrade to 1.0.

Thanks for the library!

Sorry, I messed up the CRAN submission. Could you reinstall from Github and try again?

Running remotes::install_github("JohnCoene/firebase") gets more functionality.

One thing that doesn't seem to work now is a password reset. I'm using f$reset_password(email = email). Is there anything else I need to do?

I see the below in the documentation:

Breaking FirebaseEmailLink the method called send has been renamed to send_email: this method was overwriting an internal private method, actually breaking many things.

However, I'm not sure what I need to change. thanks!

You just need to change the send method send to send_email.

f <- FirebaseEmailLink$new()
f$send_email("me@email.com")

I'm not seeing a send method in the old version. Hmm.

Hi. I'm still unable to get the password reset to work. I'm feeling quite lost and would appreciate some assistance.

With Firebase V 1 I've tried

f <- FirebaseEmailLink$new()
f$send_email(email = input$email_for_password_reset)

where in the prior Firebase version I had

  f$reset_password(email = input$email_for_password_reset)

That doesn't work.

I also tried the following in the R console:

FirebaseEmailLink$new()

which returned:

ℹ Fetching firebase config from file Error in private$.namespace(session) : attempt to apply non-function

[JohnCoene]

The FirebaseEmailLink sends the user a link that redirects and logs in to the app: there was no reset_password method on this class since there is no password to reset. This method is on the FirebaseEmailPassword.

The error you see when running from the R console is normal, you have no shiny session object.

It's difficult to debug without an example of the code that goes wrong, sorry.

My question is now answered. Pointing me to the correct method was what I needed. Thanks!! Just in case others have the same issue:

Where before I had:

  f$reset_password(email = input$email_for_password_reset)

In the new version, the following works:

  f <- FirebaseEmailPassword$new()
  f$reset_password(email = input$email_for_password_reset)

Great to hear it is resolved!
