Flutter Web Error. Uncaught ReferenceError: firebase is not defined

Question

I am making an app and drop it in the web. But when I launch it, in chrome there is a blank screen. There is my log from console in chrome:

Installed new service worker.
zone.dart:1339 Uncaught ReferenceError: firebase is not defined
at Object.ad5 (core.dart:54)
at Object.ajF (cloud_firestore_web.dart:36)

at adP (main.dart:10)
at js_helper.dart:2684
at js_helper.dart:2684
at dartProgram (js_helper.dart:2684)

Here is my main.dart file:

import 'package:brew_crew/screens/wrapper.dart';
import 'package:brew_crew/services/auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
import 'package:brew_crew/models/user.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

 class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamProvider<UserClass>.value(
      value: AuthService().user,
      child: MaterialApp(
        home: Wrapper(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Also there is an index.html file

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <!--
        If you are serving your web app in a path other than the root, change the

        The path provided below has to start and end with a slash "/" in order for
        it to work correctly.

    }

    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {

      window.addEventListener('load', function () {

                  console.log('Installed new service worker.');
                  loadMainDartJs();
                }
              });
            }
            if (!reg.active && (reg.installing || reg.waiting)) {

              // When the app updates the serviceWorkerVersion changes, so we
              // need to ask the service worker to update.
              console.log('New service worker available.');
              reg.update();
              waitForActivation(reg.installing);
            } else {
              // Existing service worker is still good.
              console.log('Loading app from service worker.');
              loadMainDartJs();
            }
          });

        // If service worker doesn't succeed in a reasonable amount of time,
        // fallback to plaint <script> tag.
        setTimeout(() => {
          if (!scriptLoaded) {
            console.warn(
              'Failed to load app from service worker. Falling back to plain <script> tag.',
            );
            loadMainDartJs();
          }
        }, 4000);
      });
    } else {
      // Service workers not supported. Just drop the <script> tag.
      loadMainDartJs();
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Also if you need you can go to git repository to another files. https://github.com/rostikro/The-app

I'm using the Flutter 2.0.2.

Do you have a generated_plugin_registrant.dart in your project directory ? — Jérémy

I looked at your Github repo link, your index.html is missing implementations for Firebase JS entries.

Your pubspec.yaml file includes these dependancies:

  firebase_core: ^0.7.0
  firebase_auth: ^0.20.1
  cloud_firestore: ^0.16.0+1

But you aren't telling your index.html to import them. The following imports will work for versions ^1.0.1 of firebase_auth and cloud_firestore

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.20.0/firebase-firestore.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.20.0/firebase-app.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.20.0/firebase-auth.js"></script>

Please follow along with the documentation, they put up a very nice and thorough explanation for everything regarding Firebase & Flutter specifically here. You also mentioned that you are using version 2.0.2 of Flutter, so please pay attention to null-safety.
