Thunkable call to NodeJS encountering 403 forbidden error

@eddie.rebehy, @jared, @cttricks, @jared, @muneer,

I’m having a little trouble with integrating NodeJS with the WebViewer. It is a bit off topic, but it does involve Thunkable integration. So here is my situation:

My ultimate goal it to import a file into thunkable. I have it working on my local emulation of firebase, but I am having trouble getting it to work on the cloud deployment.

The first step is create a listener using express. No problem, works on both deployed and emulated systems.

exports.thunk = functions.https.onRequest(app);`
app.listen( () => {
     functions.logger.info(`Express App listening `, {structuredData: true});
});

On the get request a display a form. Also works great on deployed and emulated systems.

// Display a form for uploading files.
app.get('/', (req, res, next ) => {
  //On a get request, send back this form to the user
  functions.logger.info(`GET request Made`, {structuredData: true});
  res.render('form.pug');
});

here is the form.pug

doctype html
html(lang="en")
  head
    title Static Files
    meta(charset='utf-8')
    link(rel="stylesheet", href="/static/main.css")
  body
    form(method="POST", action="/upload", enctype="multipart/form-data")
      input(type="file", accept=".gpx", name="file" )
      input(type="submit")

Both emulated and deployed systems allow me to identify a file.

I’m guessing there is some JavaScript / promise / ??? that is causing my problems. Any help is appreciated

Firebase makes any HTTP function as private not public. From the console change it to public and try.

Happy new year
