To test your Cloud Functions code for uploading a file to a bucket in Cloud Storage using Emulator you need to use the bucket name of Storage Emulator
. By default the emulator suite will have a bucket named project-id.appspot.com
, which is also the name of the default bucket for production Firebase Storage.
I found this link on Using Firebase Emulator for Testing File Upload to Firebase Storage Using Firebase Functions, that contains a video demonstrating the whole process of using Emulator, which I think is really useful.
