Error message: Unable to get messaging device token: Object (anonymous) @ main.js:180

Here is the code I pasted:

// Saves the messaging device token to the Realtime Database.
function saveMessagingDeviceToken() {
  firebase.messaging().getToken().then(function(currentToken) {
    if (currentToken) {
      console.log('Got FCM device token:', currentToken);
      // Save the device token to the Realtime Database.
      firebase.database().ref('/fcmTokens').child(currentToken)
          .set(firebase.auth().currentUser.uid);
    } else {
      // Need to request permissions to show notifications.
      requestNotificationsPermissions();
    }
  }).catch(function(error){
    console.error('Unable to get messaging device token:', error);
  });
}

Please let me know if there is any other info you need.

Were you doing the browser on Chrome? Some other browsers do not support Firebase messaging because they do not support firebase push notifications. You must add the following code to check this:

try { this.messaging = firebase.messaging(); } catch(e) { if (e.code === 'messaging/unsupported-browser') { console.warn('This Browser does not suport FCM. Notifications won\'t be available.', e); } else { throw e; } }

I'll add this to the codelab now.
