gRPC: 14 UNAVAILABLE: failed to connect to all addresses

Question

grpc fails to connect even when I set my jest test() async function to a 100000ms cap before it times out.

// terminal, after running jest --watch
● creates new record

// FirebaseConnection.ts, inside the class

  protected async addDocument(collectionName: string, documentData: object): Promise<firestore.DocumentSnapshot|null> {
    try {
      const newlyAddedDocument = await this.database
        .collection(collectionName)
        .add(documentData);

      return await newlyAddedDocument.get();
    }
    catch (e) {
      console.log(e, `=====error=====`);
      return null;
    }
  }

  public async createNew(type: RecordTypes, documentData: object): Promise<firestore.DocumentSnapshot|null> {
    this.verifySchemaIsCorrect(type, documentData);
    const collectionName = this.getCollectionName(type);

    return await this.addDocument(collectionName, documentData);
  }

// FirebaseConnection.test.ts

import {RecordTypes} from "../../../../shared";

import FirestoreConnection from "../FirestoreConnection";

const createTestDatabase = (credentials): any => {
  return firebaseTesting
    .initializeTestApp({
      projectId: 'testProject',
      auth: credentials
    })
    .firestore();
};

const nullAllApps = firebaseTesting
  .apps().map(app => app.delete());

const db = new FirestoreConnection('testShopDomain', createTestDatabase(null));

test("creates new record", async () => {
  const addedDocument = await db
    .createNew(RecordTypes.globalRule, {
      storeId : "dummyStoreId"
      , globalPercent : 40
    });

  expect(addedDocument).toEqual({
    storeId : "dummyStoreId"
    , globalPercent : 40
    , badProp : 0
  });
}, 100000);

Is anyone able to tell why this is happening? Looking at the documentation this appears to be a lower level library: https://grpc.github.io/grpc/node/

Update

After it was suggested that the server/emulator was not found by gRPC, I ran firebase serve --only functions,firestore. Terminal showed emulators running on different ports for both services. Rerunning jest --watch now produces a slightly different error:

 2 UNKNOWN:

Answer 1

That gRPC error means that no server is running at the address you are trying to connect to, or a connection to that server cannot be established for some reason. If you are trying to connect to a local Firestore emulator, you should verify that it is running and that you can connect to it outside of a test.
