Firebase realtime database rules

Question

After doing some searching, it seems the docs are a bit out of date with firebase's realtime database rules. As default for me they are set as:

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if false;
    }
  }
}

And when I do a simple write:

var databaseRef = firebase.database().ref();

databaseRef.child("Comments").set("Test")

It tells me: PERMISSION_DENIED. I'm assuming this is because of my rules. I tried changing it to:

allow read, write: if true;

But that changed nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Simple fix, it turns out i had to switch from the cloud firestore menu to the realtime database...
