Describe your environment

  • Operating System version: macOS 11.2.3 (20D91)
  • Browser version: Chrome 89.0.4389.128 (Official Build) (x86_64)
  • Firebase SDK version: 8.4.0
  • Firebase Product: database

Describe the problem

Attempting to read from a ref with no read permission results in an error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'hasCancelCallback' of undefined. Stack trace I'm seeing is:

The cancelCallbackOrContext is no longer being called, either.

Previously the error was effectively ignored (and certainly didn't cause the running script to crash), and if a cancelCallbackOrContext parameter was provided, it was called.

I confirmed this works in SDK v8.3.3.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Update to [email protected].
  • Add a child_added event listener to a path in which the authenticated user does not have read access

Relevant Code:

firebase.database().ref("/some/path/with/no/read/access").on("child_added", () => {
}, (error) => {
  // This gets called in SDK v8.3.3 and earlier, but not after 8.4.0
});

Hi @joekrill, thanks for the report. I was able to replicate the behavior where the error could no longer be caught in the callback using SDK version 8.4.1.

I've filed an internal bug for this issue. Please use the working version for the meantime.
