Firestore requests are erroring out with status: FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions.

My Firestore read requests are getting errored out. I believe that some sort of incorrect blacklisting has happened.

Environment: development

Purpose: To get a list of all documents  in my Firestore collection named "auth"

Firestore rules:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}

Code:

let docRef = doc(db, "auth", newUserEmail.value);

let docSnap;

try {

docSnap = await getDoc(docRef);

} catch(error) {

console.log("error: ", error);

}

Not sure how to go about troubleshooting as Firestore has no logging system visible to developers and there are no flags on my web console.

Could you please share the error message ? It might help diagnose the cause.

To list all documents in a collection: 

const citiesRef = db.collection('cities');
const snapshot = await citiesRef.get();
snapshot.forEach(doc => {
  console.log(doc.id, '=>', doc.data());
});

Hi Julien, this is my error message,

index-00398238.js:1 FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions.

But I get a 200 response for my Firebase Firestore requests. 

Also, I get the same error message irrespective of whether the document that I'm looking up is present or not.

Hope this is sufficient information.

Based on inputs from the community, I realized that my rules were not permitting requests from unauthenticated users in the new login/registration pages which was exactly where the issue occurred.

I've updated my rules to,

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /auth/{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if true;
    }
  }
}

I tried to do that. But It's not changed on the remote. It still keep the default value.

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if false;
    }
  }
}

Can you provide some screenshots for context? The configuration seems fine, are there any error messages that you see?

Yes. I send some pictures below (successfully message, my rules, result on GG firestore).
