Description
### Version info
3.18.4
### Platform Information
macOS 10.12.6
### Steps to reproduce
I'm trying to use `firebase functions:shell` to test some functions locally, e.g.:
```ts
functions.firestore.document('inquiries/{inquiryId}')
.onCreate(async snapshot => {
const data = snapshot.data();
const refData = await data.docWithRef.get();
// Do some operations on refData
});
```
### Expected behavior
I'm not sure how to test with an object that it's supposed to have a document reference.
Say I have a simple object with a ref:
```js
{
timestamp: 123,
docWithRef: DocumentReference
}
```
How can I run that in the repl that the shell created? Is that actually possible?
And I'm a little confused. When the `onCreate()` trigger that I use will invoke the callback with the data, will the snapshot actually contain `docWithRef` as a proper `DocumentReference`
or will it be just a path?
### Actual behavior
Cannot seem to find a way to mock a doc ref.
