🐛 [delete-user-data] Not all data is deleted

[filipre]

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your configuration

• Extension name: delete-user-data (storage-resize-images, firestore-send-email, etc)
• Extension version: 0.1.29
• Configuration values (redact info where appropriate):
  • Cloud Firestore paths: empty
  • Cloud Firestore delete mode: recursive
  • Enable auto discovery: yes
  • Auto discovery search depth: 3
  • Auto discovery search fields (Optional): uid,userId,creatorId,scope.owner.id

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Hi!

It looks like the extension has the implicit assumption that every document key contains a user ID but that may not always be the case. Or the auto discovery is not being applied. For example, consider a table "session" that has userId as a property but uses keys like session/<session ID>. Looking at the current documentation and implementation, it seems like it is not possible to delete document for session

Case 1: Cloud Firestore paths is empty -> Enable auto discovery is not being applied
Case 2: Cloud Firestore paths is set to sessions -> This will remove all sessions according to the current code I believe:

  const paths = extractUserPaths(databasePaths, uid);
  const promises = paths.map(async (path) => {
    try {
      logs.rtdbPathDeleting(path);
      await admin.database().ref(path).remove(); // <-- Deletes whole table, we don't want that
      logs.rtdbPathDeleted(path);
    } catch (err) {
      logs.rtdbPathError(path, err);
    }
  });

Case 3: Cloud Firestore paths is set to sessions/{UID} -> This will not work because the UID is not part of the key.

Are my assumptions correct or is it somehow possible to delete session with the current version? If not, I'd say it's a bug that the auto discovery isn't applied. Or is the issue that properties like A.B.C are not being resolved? What happens if the key is inside an object within the document?

Thanks a lot!

Steps to reproduce:

See above

Expected result

I'd expect that the auto discovery finds the documents in Case 1 and deletes it.

Actual result

Documents are not being deleted.
