How can I resolve the unsupported operator error when deploying a Firestore document create trigger?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm trying to deploy a cloud function that triggers on Firestore document creations, but I receive an error about an unsupported operator. Below is my deployment command:

BASH
gcloud functions deploy send-verification-mail ^
  --gen2 ^
  --runtime=python312 ^
  --trigger-location=asia-south2 ^
  --region=asia-south2 ^
  --source=. ^
  --entry-point=send_verification_mail ^
  --set-env-vars GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=myproject ^
  --trigger-event-filters=type=google.cloud.firestore.document.v1.create ^
  --trigger-event-filters-path-pattern=document='users/{username}'

This results in the error:

ERROR: (gcloud.functions.deploy) ResponseError: status=[400], code=[Ok], message=[Validation failed for trigger projects/myproject/locations/asia-south2/triggers/send-verification-mail-878142: The request was invalid: Operator match-path-pattern is not supported for attribute document within event type google.cloud.firestore.document.v1.create]

From what I understand, the flag

--trigger-event-filters-path-pattern=document='users/{username}'

is not supported for Firestore create events. What is the correct way to filter these events? Should I remove the unsupported flag, or is there an alternative filtering method available?

I appreciate any guidance on resolving this error.

Deployment Error Resolution

The error

Operator match-path-pattern is not supported for attribute document within event type google.cloud.firestore.document.v1.create

indicates that the filtering operator you’re using with the flag
--trigger-event-filters-path-pattern is not supported for the Firestore create event on the attribute "document".

Next Steps

Remove the Flag:
Omit the flag --trigger-event-filters-path-pattern=document='users/{username}' from your command since it’s not supported for this event type.
Alternative Filtering:
If you need to filter based on a document path, first verify whether Firestore event filtering supports it using equality matching in the --trigger-event-filters flag. You may need to adjust your approach according to the supported filters in the documentation for Firestore-triggered functions.

Adjusted Command Example

Removing the unsupported flag would result in a command similar to:

BASH
gcloud functions deploy send-verification-mail \
  --gen2 \
  --runtime=python312 \
  --trigger-location=asia-south2 \
  --region=asia-south2 \
  --source=. \
  --entry-point=send_verification_mail \
  --set-env-vars GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=myproject \
  --trigger-event-filters=type=google.cloud.firestore.document.v1.create

Review the current documentation on Firestore event filters to determine if additional filtering is necessary and available for your use case.
