Describe the problem

Hi guys,

I built a simple script in Typescript that reads from the Database and prints the result. Whenever I do that, the newly created process does not close.

I'm not sure if this is an intended behaviour

I also added the admin.database().goOffline(); as mentioned in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/6932#issuecomment-1385331994 but didn't work.

Steps and code to reproduce issue

Run the following js code

admin.initializeApp();
_test();
async function _test() {
    const ref = await admin
        .database()
        .ref('YOUR_REFERENCE')
        .get();
    const start_data = ref.val();
    console.log(start_data);
    admin.database().goOffline();
    console.log('end');
}

You'll see that even though the console prints 'end', the program doesn't actually stop.

If you simply run

admin.initializeApp();
_test();
async function _test() {
  console.log('end');
}

the program stops as intended

Reproduce the supplied Admin Node.js script using admin.initializeApp(), database().ref().get(), and goOffline(), then inspect the Realtime Database path used by the Admin SDK. Done means the process exits after the read and the final log without requiring an additional workaround; the payload names no repository files or tests.
