serverTimestamp fails when uploading to firestore.

[cfficaurzua]

Version info Angular: ^17.3.0", Firebase: 9.23.0 AngularFire: ^17.0.1", Node v20.11.

How to reproduce these conditions Failing test unit, Stackblitz demonstrating the problem:

Currently, I do not have a failing test unit or a Stackblitz example, but I can describe the issue and the steps to reproduce it below.

Steps to set up and reproduce:

Set up AngularFirestore and AngularFireStorage in your Angular component. Create a form with a field set to serverTimestamp(). Attempt to update a Firestore document using WriteBatch.update() with the form values. Here is a snippet of the code causing the issue:

import { serverTimestamp } from 'firebase/firestore';
import { AngularFirestore } from '@angular/fire/compat/firestore';

constructor(private afs: AngularFirestore, ...) {
    this.form = this.builder.group({
        dateReported: [serverTimestamp(), Validators.required],
        ...
    });

    const batch = this.afs.firestore.batch();
    const orderRef = this.afs.firestore.collection(...).doc(....);
    batch.update(orderRef, this.form.value);
    batch.commit()
}

Sample data and security rules:

Please provide the necessary data structure and Firestore security rules if they are relevant to the issue.

Debug output Errors in the JavaScript console:

}
FirebaseError: Function WriteBatch.update() called with invalid data. Unsupported field value: a custom sl object (found in field dateReported in document [...])

Output from firebase.database().enableLogging(true);:

Please attach output if available.

Screenshots:

Please attach screenshots if they help illustrate the problem.

Expected behavior The expected behavior is that the Firestore document should be updated with the current server timestamp in the dateReported field without any errors.

Actual behavior The actual behavior is that an error is thrown when trying to update the Firestore document, indicating that an unsupported field value (a custom sl object) was found in the dateReported field.

Also there is no documentation how to use serverTimestamp, increment, etc, for current version using compat.

I also tried import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app'; import 'firebase/compat/firestore'; const firestore = firebase.firestore; dateReported:[firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp(), Validators.required], same error
