Stack Overflow Asked by Tom Darious on January 22, 2021
I want to reset a specific value in my Firebase Realtime Database every day at 12:00 AM. To do this, I’m using the Firebase Admin SDK to change the data in Firebase Realtime Database and Cloud Functions to trigger the change at 12:00 AM every day.
This is an example structure of my Firebase Realtime Database:
{
"users": {
"fa54487d9cbb4214b00db80e2118e4e6": {
"daily": 10
}
}
}
This is the code in my index.js
:
// The Cloud Functions for Firebase SDK to create Cloud Functions and setup triggers.
var functions = require('firebase-functions');
// The Firebase Admin SDK to access Cloud Firestore.
var admin = require('firebase-admin');
// Fetch the service account key JSON file contents
var serviceAccount = require("serviceAccountKey.json");
// Initialize the app with a service account, granting admin privileges
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com"
});
// As an admin, the app has access to read and write all data, regardless of Security Rules
var db = admin.database();
var ref = db.ref("users");
// Reset today GHG emissions at 12:00 AM everyday
exports.dailyReset = functions.pubsub.schedule('0 0 * * *').onRun((context) => {
usersRef.child("{userId}").set({
daily: 0
});
});
Deploy Error:
! functions[dailyReset(us-central1)]: Deployment error.
Function failed on loading user code. This is likely due to a bug in the user code.

The script won’t deploy when I use firebase deploy
as my function is giving me an error. Can someone tell me how to fix my code?
This won't work:
exports.dailyReset = functions.pubsub.schedule('0 0 * * *').onRun((context) => {
usersRef.child("{userId}").set({
daily: 0
});
});
There is nothing here that interprets the {userId}
in that path, so the database updates the literal path "/users/{userId}"
, which is not what you want.
If you know what user ID you want to update, you should use that value in the path:
exports.dailyReset = functions.pubsub.schedule('0 0 * * *').onRun((context) => {
let usersRef = admin.database().ref("users");
usersRef.child("theActualUserIdYouWantToUpdate").set({
daily: 0
});
});
If you don't know what user ID to update, you'll need to query the database to determine that.
If you want to loop over all users, you can do:
exports.dailyReset = functions.pubsub.schedule('0 0 * * *').onRun((context) => {
return usersRef.once("value").then((snapshot) => {
let updates = {};
snapshot.forEach((userSnapshot) => {
updates[userSnapshot.key+"/daily"] = 0
});
return usersRef.update(updates);
});
});
If you are new to JavaScript or interacting with the Realtime Database in it, Cloud Functions for Firebase is not the best way to learn it. I recommend first reading the Firebase documentation for Web developers and/or taking the Firebase codelab for Web developer. They cover many basic JavaScript, Web and Firebase interactions. You could also use the Admin SDK in a local Node.js process, which can be debugged with a local debugger. After those you'll be much better equipped to write code for Cloud Functions too.
