Eventarc Validation

When to use this skill

• •When defining new custom events.
• •When debugging "silent failures" where events are not triggering functions.
• •When writing code that publishes to Eventarc.

How to use it

1. •Validate CloudEvents Attributes:
   • •Ensure type follows the com.boklo.transaction.* format.
   • •Verify source identifies the producing service (e.g., //firestore.googleapis.com/...).
   • •Check that datacontenttype is explicitly application/json (often missed, causing routing failures).
2. •Check Payload Structure:
   • •Ensure the data attribute contains a valid JSON object matching the expected schema.
3. •Verify Routing Config:
   • •Confirm that the eventarc_trigger definition in firebase.json or Terraform matches the emitted event attributes exactly.
4. •Log & Trace:
   • •Recommend logging the full CloudEvent object before publishing during debugging to ensure all fields are populated correctly.
