title: Firebase trigger function ignored due to missing "firebaseauth.googleapis.com emulator"
body: <p>I have a Firebase function <code>createUser</code> that is triggered by <code>auth.user().onCreate</code>.
  Whenever I serve functions locally, it is ignored.
  I get the same output when I run <code>firebase serve</code>, <code>firebase serve -only functions,firestore</code>, <code>firebase emulators:start</code>, or <code>firebase emulators:start --only functions,firestore</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>⚠  functions: Your GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable points to /home/david/Sync/alikely/key.json. Non-emulated services will access production using these credentials. Be careful!
  ✔  functions[createItem]: http function initialized (http://localhost:5000/alikely-ce1d5/us-central1/createItem).
  i  functions[createUser]: function ignored because the firebaseauth.googleapis.com emulator does not exist or is not running.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As shown above, I have attempted to follow the instructions to setup admin credentials here: <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I have initialized functions and firestore with <code>firebase init</code>, and my project directory contains a <code>firestore.rules</code>, <code>firestore.indexes.json</code>, and a <code>firebase.json</code>. Are the contents of one of these files to blame?</p>
  
  <p>How can I locally emulate all of my functions for full local development? How can I enable the "firebaseauth.googleapis.com emulator"?</p>
