Detected an object of type “Timestamp” that doesn&

Question

I'm wondering why is the Timestamp object is not working as I expect?

It works in test environment (I use Mocha), but throws error when it has been deployed.

index.ts

import { Timestamp, QuerySnapshot } from "@google-cloud/firestore";
....

async someFunction() {
   let col = firestore.collection("mycollection");
   let now = Timestamp.now();
   let twentyMinsAgo = Timestamp.fromMillis(now.toMillis() - (1200 * 1000));

   return col
      .where('LastEdited', '>=', twentyMinsAgo) //This throws error
      .get()
}

Stack Trace

Argument "value" is not a valid QueryValue. 
Detected an object of type "Timestamp" that doesn't match the expected instance. 
Please ensure that the Firestore types you are using are from the same NPM package.

Answer 1

Now I get it why it throws an error. Because I import Firestore object separately, whereas I should just use Firestore object from Firebase Admin SDK.

What I changed:

1. remove "@google-cloud/firestore" dependency from package.json

2. Use admin.firestore.Timestamp object.

index.ts

async someFunction() {
   let col = firestore.collection("mycollection");
   let now = admin.firestore.Timestamp.now();
   let twentyMinsAgo = admin.firestore.Timestamp.fromMillis(now.toMillis() - (1200 * 1000));

   col.where('LastEdited', '>=', twentyMinsAgo) //Now ok
      .get()
}
