updateUser() with Admin SDK does not work

[Mathias S]

I like to update the email address for a user with the following code:

UserRecord.UpdateRequest request = new UserRecord.UpdateRequest(uid).setEmail("updat...@email.com");
UserRecord userRecord = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().updateUser(request);

But this leads to the following error:

 "message": "EMAIL_EXISTS",
 "domain": "global",
 "reason": "invalid"

No, the email passed to setEmail() does not exist. Why does Firebase think it does???

Hey Mathias,

Can you show what happens if you call getUserByEmail?

https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/admin/java/reference/com/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth.html#getUserByEmail(java.lang.String)l

That will return a UserRecord to show why Firebase thinks that email exists.

You are right, there was another user with this email address already. I have missed that user.
