Updating user data based on UID fails

[jusuf-el]

I have issue updating the user data based on user's bid. First, I retrieve the user's data by email, and I get what I expect. Then, I used the uid from the response for updating the user's data, but I keep getting the following error:

E/flutter (13587): [ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: FirebaseAuthAdminException: auth/missinguid: A uid identifier is required for the current operation.

Here is my code:

await auth.getUserByEmail(email.value).then((user) async {
            String uid = user.uid;
            await auth
                .updateUser(uid, ath.UpdateRequest(password: code.toString()))
                .then((value) async {
              print('USER UPDATED');
              print(value.toJson());
            });
          });

The exception occurred because the UID was missing in the update request (possibly missed implementation in the package). Added a PR to fix!

@HeySreelal when we can expect the fix to be merged, so we can continue with our work that is dependent to this issue.

Thank you once again!

I'm actually unsure about the timelines. May be an admin can help you with that. Fix is actually a one liner, you can check this commit: 8315f5373ed7e72d93cba02fffa67e3cb69e3ea7. In addition to that, you could add it locally on your machine/server and continue your work while waiting for the PR to be merged. Best :)

Still facing the issue (currently using the 0.3.1 version FirebaseAuthAdminException: auth/missinguid: A uid identifier is required for the current operation.

This is the function

await auth.updateUser( uid, UpdateRequest( email: emailCtrl.text, password: passCtrl.text, ));

Hi @AbuBakar044, I can see that this fix hasn't been released to pub.dev yet. I'm not sure why though :) Probably there'll be an update soon.
