Real-time collaboration not working - infinite loading

[tcarreira]

Problem

When real-time collaboration is Off, everything seems to be working.
But after turning real-time collaboration On, after opening a file, the vscode just keeps loading indefinitely, showing that blue line at the top:

More information

The logs don't seem to be relevant (for my eyes).
But the browser network tab is showing lots of 404 connecting firebase (real database removed):

Request URL: https://<DATABASE_NAME>.appspot.com/.lp?start=t&ser=38874610&cb=5&v=5&ns=<DATABASE_NAME>
Request Method: GET
Status Code: 404 

You may have noticed that https://<DATABASE_NAME>.appspot.com does not match the README (firebase-databaseURL: 'https://<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseio.com').
I changed it because with the original I would get an error launching code-server :

[2021-03-18T00:29:29.934Z]  @firebase/database: FIREBASE WARNING: Firebase error. Please ensure that you spelled the name of your Firebase correctly (https://<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseio.com) 

I got the "correct" server name from the Firebase console (storageBucket).

Am i missing any config?
Is this a bug or incomplete documentation?
I also read Firepad documentation which seems to say the same as you did.

Tested scenario

• Web Browser: Firefox / Brave / Chromium
• Local OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
• Remote OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
• Remote Architecture: amd64
• code-server --version: 3.8.0 39fc66bd58ce4c9b5934a91caf5eaa0774706a3d

Got the same issue

I also have the same issue...

I would love to try to fix this myself, but I have no clue what to search for.
Any suggestions?

@tcarreira I would think it might be the program looping between users.

By the same issue, I think it is a problem with the database :
In the docs it is written:

firebase-authDomain: '<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseapp.com'
firebase-databaseURL: 'https://<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseio.com'

While Google Firebase gives you the same authDomain but you don't have .firebaseio.com for the databaseURL

@PxBCPG if you make a database you will have a .firebaseio.com. I cant find a .firebaseapp.com though.

@tcarreira I know what your problem is. the is the name of the database you create here:

@PxBCPG if you make a database you will have a .firebaseio.com. I cant find a .firebaseapp.com though.

Not for me, got a .appspot.com instead of .firebaseio.com

@archiso7 I don't have the same UI at all :

@tcarreira you have to click on build on the left side.

I created a project, and then an app I think
