node.js - Firebase-admin nodejs SDK doens't connect

Question

I'm attempt to connect to firebase/firestone using the nodejs SDK,however I it doesn't connect. I've attempted to connect multiple times, using setInterval but nothing works.

First, I initialize the the firebase using the credentials and the databaseURL, after this I get the databaseRef, and in the end I attempt to write to the database.

I've checked the ./info/connected on setInterval with timeout of 1000ms and mocha --timeout flag to 5000ms, and always marks as offline.

I've checked the credentials, when is a wrong credential or config json, they give an JSON parse error message(cause I have several storage instances, each connected according to a flag spawned during the execution time).

I'm using the TDD approach on my application, so, I have to mock the entire database and check against the resulted values of each operation. I've wrote a controller for the task of handling the firebase/firestone work, but I if I can't connected it has no use.

The code goes here:

const analyticsFirebaseMock = admin.initializeApp({
  credentials: admin.credential.cert(analyticsCredentials),
  databaseURL: process.env.ANALYTICS_FIREBASE_URL
}, 'analyticsMock')

const analyticsDbRef = analyticsFirebaseMock.database()

beforeEach(() => {})

afterEach(() => sinon.restore())

describe('POST - /analytics', () => {
  it('should save the analytics data for new year', async (done) => {
    const itens = 1
    const price = 599.00
    
    setInterval(() => {
      clockAnalyticsDbRef.ref(`.info/connected`).once('value', (value) => {
        if (value.val() === true) console.log('connected')
        else console.error('offline')
      })
    }, 1000)

    await analytics.updateAnalytics(user, itens, price)

    await analyticsDbRef.ref(`${user}`).once('value', (value) => {
      expect(R.view(userLens, value)).to.be.equals(user)
      done()
    })
  })
})

In the above code, I use async/await on analyticsDbRef cause of the asynchronous characteristic of the js. Call the controller, await the query result, conclude with done. The test fails with timeout, expecting done to be called.

What could I doing wrong?
