[MarcusCemes]

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools: 9.18.0

Platform: Windows

[REQUIRED] Test case

exports.storageFinalise = functions().storage.object().onFinalize(async (object) => {
  await storage().bucket().file(object.name).move("some/other/path");
})

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

1. Create a cloud storage trigger that copies or moves the object to another location
2. Setup the cloud storage and functions emulator environment
3. Upload a file to the storage emulator and review the logs

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

The object can be copied or moved to a different location in the same bucket.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

The cloud storage emulator is very new, is copying files supported from the admin SDK or is it a very basic implementation for serving files to the client?

[abeisgoat]

It is not currently support, as a rule of thumb, if you can do it in the Firebase client SDK then the same admin methods will also work, but things like moving files (which are admin / Google Cloud API endpoints) are not, but I'll make a note that this is something that is being attempted for when we work to expand the Cloud API surface compatibility.

I had similar problems so implemented various missing features of the Storage emulator - its still waiting to be merged :-/
You could try working against this and see if it fixes your problem and try upvoting / commenting on the PR.

Is this happen only with emulator?
If cloud function deployed, the move will work???

move() is not implemented as of 2024 :(
