Using for cloud firestore in test environment with emulator

[larsivi]

Our project mostly consists of Cloud Run instances, some of which wants to ask cloud firestore about stuff. To test this locally, I would like to run the emulator (maybe with login:ci) and the Cloud Run app in a local docker image. Can I at this point test it with no authentication, or mocked credentials created locally? It doesn't make sense to me that to test locally, I need to log into my Google accounts.

When I do

firebaseadmin.initializeApp()

the ADC is wanted.
And if I am able to initialize with a faked Credential (had to cheat a bit with the typescript setup), it fails on

firebaseadmin.firestore()

as it then tries to validate the signature of the credential.

Is there supposed to be a way to do something like this? The emulator running locally, the application running locally, and NOT being logged in to Google on any account whatsoever?

Most or all of the issues appear to have originated from not setting FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST (I had FIREBASE_DATABASE_EMULATOR_HOST instead). It appears to be working now. Sorry for the fuzz.
