{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"FirestoreOptions .setCredentials() seems to be ignored","articleBody":"I recently upgraded Firestore from version 0.51.0-beta to 0.52.0-beta, which allows overriding of various options. My instantiation broke and now throws this exception:\r\n`\r\ncom.google.cloud.firestore.FirestoreException: java.io.IOException: The Application Default Credentials are not available. They are available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined pointing to a file defining the credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.\r\n`\r\n\r\n My previous service instantiation code looked like this:\r\n```java\r\nGoogleCredentials creds = getServiceAccountCredentialsFromFile();\r\nFirestore firestore = new DefaultFirestoreFactory()\r\n    .create(\r\n        FirestoreOptions.newBuilder()\r\n            .setCredentials(creds)\r\n            .setProjectId(projectId)\r\n            .build());\r\n```\r\n\r\nAfter upgrading this config no longer works; I have to do something like this:\r\n```java\r\nFirestore firestore = new DefaultFirestoreFactory()\r\n    .create(\r\n        FirestoreOptions.newBuilder()\r\n            .setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(creds))\r\n            .setProjectId(projectId)\r\n            .build());\r\n```\r\n\r\nI have also tried this:\r\n```java\r\nFirestore firestore = new DefaultFirestoreFactory()\r\n    .create(\r\n        FirestoreOptions.newBuilder()\r\n            .setCredentials(creds)\r\n            .setProjectId(config.getString(\"firestore.projectId\"))\r\n            .setCredentialsProvider(FirestoreOptions.getDefaultCredentialsProviderBuilder().build())\r\n            .build());\r\n```\r\n\r\nbut this also did not work.\r\n\r\nIs it expected that `setCredentials()` is effectively ignored?","author":{"url":"https://github.com/andrewparmet","@type":"Person","name":"andrewparmet"},"datePublished":"2018-07-12T15:33:23.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/3458/google-cloud-java/issues/3458"}
