@ahmadalibaloch this is working as intended. You are only running the Functions emulator, not the Database emulator.

If you want to run both, first run firebase init emulators and set up the Database emulator then run firebase emulators:start again.

From the emulator's UI i can access Firestore emulator and make changes to DB, everything is working fine.
I have setup emulators with the firebase init emulators but when I serve the functions after starting emulators, it gives me the message function ignored bcause the database emulator does not exist....

@ahmadalibaloch this just is not enough information to debug. Please at least show debug logs from emulators:start that show the database emulator running but the functions emulator not recognizing it.
