Firebase distribution fails when building from yaml

[eukevin]

After switching our workflows from using the workflow editor to using the codemagic.yaml files, our builds fail at the Firebase publishing step with the following error:

Error: Failed to authenticate, have you run firebase login?

The working workflow configuration was exported and only minor changes have since been made. The relevant credentials appear to be present

      firebase:
        firebase_service_account: Encrypted(...)

Has anyone run into this issue before?

Hi, let's pass your service account json file as an env var as follows:

  firebase:
   firebase_service_account: $FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT

Thank you, that did the trick!

[eukevin]

My apologies, in my excitement I accidentally ran the build using the workflow editor. Re-running it using the YAML with your suggestion included yielded the same error as before.

Did you create an env var and transfer the group that holds your env var to yaml ? As a note, your json file does not need to be base64 encoded.

[eukevin]

Yes. The variable was added with variable group firebase and the following added to the yaml:

environment:
  groups:
    - firebase

At this point, there must be sth wrong with the provided json value. I strongly suggest you to create a new service account json file and try with it. If not result, send me a build id please.

Will do, thank you.

This has solved the issue, thanks for your help!
