I'm trying to use Firestore in my AppEngine (standard environment) app written in Go. I've been following the "Getting Started with Cloud Firestore" guide and have been using the firestore package documentation to implement a simple example that works fine when running it on my local dev server.
However when I deploy the app and try the deployed version the call to DocumentRef.Set() fails with the error
rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = all SubConns are in TransientFailure
This is my code that reproduces the issue:
func init() {
http.HandleFunc("/test", testHandler)
}
type testData struct {
TestData string `firestore:"myKey,omitempty"`
}
func testHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
ctx := appengine.NewContext(r)
var firestoreClient *firestore.Client
var firebaseApp *firebase.App
var err error
conf := &firebase.Config{ProjectID: "my-project"}
firebaseApp, err = firebase.NewApp(ctx, conf)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Failed to create a new firestore app: %v", err)
return
}
firestoreClient, err = firebaseApp.Firestore(ctx)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Failed to create a new firestore client: %v", err)
return
}
data := testData{"my value"}
_, err = firestoreClient.Collection("testCollection").Doc("testDoc").Set(ctx, data)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Failed to create a firestore document: %v", err)
return
}
firestoreClient.Close()
fmt.Fprint(w, "Data stored in Firestore successfully")
}
As mentioned before, on the dev server this works fine. So there the returned page contains the text Data stored in Firestore successfully.
When running the deployed code I get Failed to create a firestore document: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = all SubConns are in TransientFailure instead. Why do I get this error and how can I avoid it?
