STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST getting TypeError: Only HTTP(S) protocols are supported

[Ridermansb]

I have my firebase local emulator running with storage on port 9199

I set the STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:9199

I initialize my cloud storage as this..

import { Storage } from "@google-cloud/storage";
const storage = new Storage();

log('Storage running with config "%o"', {
  projectId: storage.projectId, // '{{projectId}}'
  apiEndpoint: storage.apiEndpoint, // 'https://localhost:9199'
  baseUrl: storage.baseUrl // 'localhost:9199'
});

When I tried to upload the file to my local storage emulator using this code..

  const bucket = storage.bucket("gs://{{MY_PROJECT_ID}}.appspot.com");
  const file = bucket.file(`user-url-assets/${userUrl.id}}/${fileName}`);
  return file.save(buffer, {
    public: true,
    metadata: {
      cacheControl: "public, max-age=31536000",
      metadata: {
        ...userUrl
      }
    }
  });

I'm getting this error:

/Users/ridermansb/Projects/mine/pageHistory/web/node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1331

Hi @Ridermansb the recommendation currently is to use apiEndpoint. STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST is noted as experimental. There are some other issues being worked on around compatibility with the Firebase Emulator #2092.

Hey @ddelgrosso1 .. I tried as well.. get the same results :(

[ddelgrosso1]

@Ridermansb I setup and ran some tests against the Firebase emulator today. Unfortunately I did not get any errors. The code I used is below:

const s = new Storage({projectId: 'MY-PROJECT', apiEndpoint: 'http://127.0.0.1:9199'});
const b = s.bucket("gs://MY-PROJECT.appspot.com")
const f = b.file('MY-FILE');

async function testLargeResumable() {
  try {
    await f.save("hell world", {
      public: true,
      metadata: {
        cacheControl: "public, max-age=31536000",
        metadata: {
          someThing: 'http://blah.com'
        }
  }});

Is there any other information that might be helpful in debugging / reproducing this?

[ddelgrosso1]

Going to close this as I am unable to reproduce locally. If more information on recreating this becomes available please feel free to reopen with the additional info.

At least in my case, root cause appears to be that the storage library is passing the IP address into the protocol property when it calls node-fetch:

Like OP, this happens even when using the apiEndpoint property:

  const s = new Storage({
    projectId: "reboot-tv-test",
    // neither http or https work
    // apiEndpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:9199",
    apiEndpoint: "https://127.0.0.1:9199",
  });
  const b = s.bucket("gs://reboot-tv-test.appspot.com");
  const file = b.file(storagePath);
  const tmpFilePath = `${os.tmpdir()}/${storagePath}`;
  await file.download({ destination: tmpFilePath, validation: false });
