Sorry, should have been more clear. Firebase is (or was) a PITA when I started the app I'm working on a few years ago. I have a lot of records in my db that I need to validate after normalizing the data. I used to have an admin page that spit out a bunch of json data with some basic filtering and self-rolled testing that I could verify at a glance.
After a few years off from this project, I refactored it all, and part of that refactoring was building a test suite that I can run. When ran, it will rebuild, normalize, and verify all the data in my app (scraped data).
When I deploy, it will also run these tests and then email if something breaks, but skip the seeding portion.
I had plans to do this before but the firebase emulator still had a lot of issues a few years ago, and refactoring this project gave me the freedom to finally build a proper testing environment and make my entire app make full use of my local firebase emulator without issue.
I like giving it my test cases in plain english. It still gets them wrong sometimes but 90% of the time they are good to go.
