Describe the problem

Hi guys,

I built a simple script in Typescript that reads from the Database and prints the result. Whenever I do that, the newly created process does not close.

I'm not sure if this is an intended behaviour

I also added the admin.database().goOffline(); as mentioned in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/6932#issuecomment-1385331994 but didn't work.

Steps and code to reproduce issue

Run the following js code

admin.initializeApp();
_test();
async function _test() {
    const ref = await admin
        .database()
        .ref('YOUR_REFERENCE')
        .get();
    const start_data = ref.val();
    console.log(start_data);
    admin.database().goOffline();
    console.log('end');
}

You'll see that even though the console prints 'end', the program doesn't actually stop.

If you simply run

admin.initializeApp();
_test();
async function _test() {
  console.log('end');
}

the program stops as intended
