Description

See the description of the issue below. I created an issue on the flutterfire Github but I was said to create an issue here.
Here is the link to that initial issue that redirected me here:
firebase/flutterfire#16963 (comment)

Description of the issue:

I am trying to create a new flutter/firebase project using the command "flutterfire configure"
I am getting the following error message: "Failed to create project because there is already a project with ID project-network-new. Please try again with a unique project ID."
I tried several project names and it still doesn't work. Looking into the debug file it seems like the requests are done twice, which could explain a fail after the second attempt since the project name would already have been taken after the first attempt. But I looked into https://console.firebase.google.com/ and there was no project to be found for my account ([email protected])

Here is the firebase-debug.log:

@Fintal78 - if the entity already exists and you're not seeing it. I would look at who you're logged in as on the Firebase CLI, perhaps you have more than one email/gmail account which has Firebase setup and it is creating Firebase projects on a different account.

[Fintal78]

thanks for your quick reply. When I execute the command firebase login it confirms that this account is used.
Here is the message I get:
Already logged in as [email protected]

[Fintal78]

Could you please provide some help here. One single account is being used as mentioned above.

[russellwheatley]

@Fintal78 - Is it something to do with this?

Then I also tried to create the project using the command "firebase projects:create ...." and it still failed.
According to the firebase-debug.log I do not have permission:
[debug] [2025-01-12T10:04:31.048Z] > command requires scopes: ["email","openid","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloudplatformprojects.readonly","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]

Under the hood, we are using Firebase CLI to create the project. If you enable the scope mentioned above, does FFCLI work?

[Fintal78]

Somehow the issue got solved. I got a notification that there was a new version of Flutter available so I installed the last version. Then dependency issues appeared that I managed to solve. Then I ran "flutter configure" again but this time I got another error saying that I didn't have the rights... So I created the project directly via https://console.firebase.google.com/ and then chose that project after running "flutter configure". It went well after that.
It looks like there is a bit of friction remaining between flutter and firebase that needs to be addressed, I lost a bunch of time there...

[russellwheatley]

Thank you for the update. Seems like an edge case as I haven't seen this before. Closing for now, but let us know if you see it again 🙏

[Fintal78]

OK thanks, will do.
