getUid can only be called from within the same library group (groupId=com.google.firebase)

I'm trying to save a user in the repository with a method, when I set the document id as the current user id logged in it gives me this error

user.getUid can only be called from within the same library group (groupId=com.google.firebase)

class FirebaseRepository {
    var db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance()
    var auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance()

    var user = auth.currentUser

    fun saveUser(user: User): Task<Void>{
        var documentReference = db.collection("users").document(user.uid).set(user)
    }
}

But when I do set the variable var user = auth.currentUser inside the method works.

Question: What's going on there? What am I missing?

Solution

  • Solution: I didn't notice there were 2 user variables (Class variable and method variable), I was using the method variable instead the auth variable.
