clientId.secret cannot be null.. Error thrown null.

[solaristhesun]

If I create a client id in dart code like this:
final ClientId clientId = ClientId.serviceAccount(AppConstants.GOOGLE_API_CLIENT_ID);

It crashes here:

Non-fatal Exception: io.flutter.plugins.firebase.crashlytics.FlutterError: Invalid argument(s): clientId.secret cannot be null.. Error thrown null.
       at .refreshCredentials(.java:101)
       at AutoRefreshingClient.send(AutoRefreshingClient.java:114)
       at ApiRequester._request.simpleRequest(_request.java:220)
       at ApiRequester._request(ApiRequester.java:263)
       at ApiRequester.request(ApiRequester.java:69)
       at AboutResource.get(AboutResource.java:141)
       at GoogleDrive.upload(GoogleDrive.java:46)

Because clientId.secret is null, if I use serviceAccount. It works when I use ClientId(AppConstants.GOOGLE_API_CLIENT_ID, ''). Am I doing something wrong here? What is the point of ClientId.serviceAccount, if it cannot be used?

@solaristhesun – help me understand why I see java in the file paths here. Is this a Dart project or a Java project?

Either way, this seems like it's a bug. Can fix.

@kevmoo Thanks for the response. It's a dart (flutter) project. The stacktrace is generated by crashlytics. Apparently it assumes that the files are all java.

@solaristhesun any chance you could share with me your Crashlytics exception catching code that you have setup in Dart that is reporting this so I can investigate the .java file paths? And also which versions of the FlutterFire packages you're using (flutter pub deps -- --style=compact)

Thanks

@Salakar
Flutter packages:

- firebase_crashlytics 2.5.1 [firebase_core firebase_core_platform_interface firebase_crashlytics_platform_interface flutter stack_trace]
- firebase_crashlytics_platform_interface 3.1.13 [collection firebase_core flutter meta plugin_platform_interface]

It is integrated like this:

void main() async {
  await runZonedGuarded<Future<void>>(
    () async {

      await Firebase.initializeApp();
      // Pass all uncaught errors from the framework to Crashlytics.
      FlutterError.onError = FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.recordFlutterError;
      await FirebaseCrashlytics.instance
          .setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(kReleaseMode || AppConstants.CRASHLYTICS_TESTING_ENABLED);

      runApp(
        ...
      );
    },
    (error, stack) => FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.recordError(error, stack),
  );
}

In relation to .dart files appearing as .java files. This issue has been raised on the FlutterFire repo. I was able to reach out to Firebase Support who were able to reproduce. No ETA on fix, I was asked to keep an eye out on the release notes for updates.
