I want to create an integer value inside the firestore database at creation. However every variable I pass get turned into a string.

This is what I have:

next_group_id = self.GetNextGroupId() #returns int value

try:

# get the document

    doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(next_group_id)      



    # create a new document  

    # this gets created as a string in firestore    

    doc_ref.set({

        u'Group Id': next_group_id, 

    })

    print("Created Group '{}'.".format(group._group_name))

except:

    print("Possible firestore error has accord - unable to create group")

Does it set a number correct if you hard-code the value? I.e. doc_ref.set({ u'Group Id': 12, }). If so, it's at least clear that the problem is on the client/Python side.

I get this error A path element must be a string. Received 102, which is a <class 'int'>.

Hmmm... that sounds weird. I'm not sure why that happens, so hope that somebody else notices.

Turns out you cant search document with an integer like this:

doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(next_group_id)

So I just cast to an string and it works fine...

doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(str(next_group_id))
