How to set up CI using the Firebase Emulator Suite

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Shows how to run the Firebase Emulator Suite inside GitHub Actions so unit tests for Firestore security rules and integration tests for Cloud Functions run on every push. Uses firebase emulators:exec npm test to spin up Firestore and Functions emulators with the right env vars, notes .firebaserc is often gitignored so CI needs --project=example (or your real project ID) to avoid “no active project”, and demonstrates fixing the YAML so tests run and pass.
