Unable to connect to realtime db hosted in europe west #415
Description
- Operating System version: macOS Catalina 10.15.6
- Firebase SDK version: 4.1.0
- Library version: Unsure Latest i believe
- Firebase Product: realtime database
###The problem
Cannot connect to a realtime Db hosted in Europe west because of invalid database URL. I was attempting to use a url ending in europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app to connect to a Europe hosting but received the error invalid database URL: want host: "firebaseio.com
Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to create a new client using app.DatabaseWithURL passing in a Europe url ending in europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app
Relevant Code:
func NewFirebaseConnection(ctx context.Context, url string) FirebaseConnection {
var conn FirebaseConnection
conn.app = initializeApp(ctx)
conn.client = initializeClient(ctx, conn.app, url)
return conn
}
// initializeApp creates a firebase app object
func initializeApp(ctx context.Context) *firebase.App {
// Initialize the app with a service account, granting admin privileges
app, err := firebase.NewApp(ctx, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln("Error initializing app:", err)
}
return app
}
// initializeClient creates a firebase client object
func initializeClient(ctx context.Context, app *firebase.App, url string) *db.Client {
client, err := app.DatabaseWithURL(ctx, url)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln("Error initializing database client:", err)
}
return client
}
