13.0.0 - Firebase Credential -The incoming JSON object does not contain a client_email field

[mustafa-barakat]

Describe your environment

• Operating System version: Docker on Windows
• Firebase SDK version: 13.0.0
• Firebase Product: Firebase Admin
• Node.js version: 18+
• NPM version: 10.9

Steps to reproduce:

• Upgrade to firebase admin to 13.0.0
• When using initializeApp with credential and adding (projectId,clientEmail,privateKey)

This doesn't happen in previous versions

Error
message: 'Credential implementation provided to initializeApp() via the "credential" property failed to fetch a valid Google OAuth2 access token with the following error: "The incoming JSON object does not contain a client_email field"

Relevant Code:

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin/app';
import { credential } from 'firebase-admin';

initializeApp({
      credential: credential.cert({
        projectId: 'PROJECTID',
        clientEmail:
          'EMAIL,
        privateKey:
          'PRIVKEY',
      }),
    });

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

I am running into the exact same issue after the release of v13.

• Node 20
• Firebase Admin 13.0.0,
• Operating System version: node:20-bullseye-slim (debian docker)

This is how I am initialising my app:

import firebaseAdmin from "firebase-admin";

firebaseAdmin.initializeApp({
    credential: firebaseAdmin.credential.cert({
      projectId: "from-env",
      clientEmail: "from-env",
      privateKey: "from-env",
    }),
  },
  "label-here",
);

Probably related?: #2466
