[cloud_firestore] Internal errors. Means some invariants expected by underlying system has been broken. If you see one of these errors, something is very broken.

Bug report

Describe the bug I've been seeing these somewhat frequently (maybe 20 ish times in the last week), recently, in our error reporting service (sentry.io).

The error appears out of nowhere, which seems to cause related snapshot listeners to break, and in turn, break the code that relies on them.

Steps to reproduce

Never seen it personally, but I'm hoping we can keep the issue open, so people can chime in.

Additional context

From what I can see in Sentry, only Android is affected. I have an incomplete list of devices where it has happened. It is hard to track, because the error logged isn't the actual error, but an error born from it. I'll see if I can improve this error logging in subsequent versions of our app.

Android 12:

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.

It has happened for quite a while, in small amounts. Not sure which version of cloud_firestore it first showed up.

We're using no special configuration parameters for Firestore, only:

// Following is run in main.dart, before Flutter is even initialized using `runApp`.
await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
);

Where DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform is the autogenerated file, that contains our firebase config.

Sorry I don't have much more to contribute with. I've done a search here in the issue tracker, and this is clearly not an isolated issue.

The issue is high priority to us, but not critical as users seem to figure out that they need to restart the app.

The complete error and it's tiny stack trace:

[cloud_firestore/internal] Internal errors. Means some invariants expected by underlying system has been broken. If you see one of these errors, something is very broken.
#0      EventChannelExtension.receiveGuardedBroadcastStream (package:_flutterfire_internals/src/exception.dart:67)
#1      MethodChannelDocumentReference.snapshots.<anonymous closure> (package:cloud_firestore_platform_interface/src/method_channel/method_channel_document_reference.dart:117)

We've added the following to our proguard.pro file: -keep class io.grpc.** {*;} Not sure if it does anything. Will keep an eye on it.

Hi @larssn, thanks for filing this. A few questions

What platform(s) are you seeing this issue on?
Can we get the full error message including the stack trace?
Has this been happening with every version of cloud_firestore or did you start seeing it after a particular version?
How is cloud_fire setup in your app?

larssn commented 10 months ago

Hey @danagbemava-nc thanks for replying, I've updated the OP with more info.

danagbemava-nc commented 10 months ago

Hi @larssn, can you try reaching out to firebase support to see if they can provide any help?

The flutterfire_* plugins are wrappers around the native plugins so this seems like its coming from the native plugin instead of the cloud_firestore plugin

larssn commented 10 months ago

I know from experience that Firebase Support is useless unless you pay for it. They waste your time until you give up, sadly.

But are you saying that the error comes from further down, and not the Dart/Platform Channel layer?

danagbemava-nc commented 10 months ago

But are you saying that the error comes from further down, and not the Dart/Platform Channel layer?

Yes, the internal error code from what I gather is for "serious" issues. The plugin is only surfacing it to you.

larssn commented 10 months ago

Hm ok.

Well I've tried reporting many issues of a serious nature to Firebase Support (including this one I believe), never with any luck. They always require a reproduction, which isn't always possible.

danagbemava-nc commented 10 months ago

For now, I'll be closing this since there isn't much action to take from our end.

If you are able to get a repro, we would love to revisit this in the future.

Thank you
