I have been working with functions for a while, recently I made a function called "unPublishStore" in my index.js file.
When calling firebase deploy --only functions every thing runs flawlessly, but the function's name gets changed, where in the cmd it shows the following:
and in the firebase's functions list the name is also changed:
This feels very much like a typo error.
Please check you index file, ensure the definition name on the left side:
exports.functionNameToDeploy = functionYouWrote;
The functionNameToDeploy will exactly be the name shown in cloud instead of the functionYouWrote
Probably you can search globally in your project to see if there is a function called upPublishStore?
I'm attempting to migrate my Firebase Cloud Functions installation up to the newly released V1.0.
I've carefully followed all instructions provided at
https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/beta-v1-diff , including including running the updates and also going through every function I have to make sure it reflects the changes in v1 which break old functions.
When I then attempt to run a deploy (for functions only), I get the following error: Error:
Invalid Firebase app options passed as the first argument to initializeApp() for the app named "[DEFAULT]". The "credential" property must be an object which implements the Credential interface.
Notably, there is a specific mention of no longer needing to provide the credentials in the argument: "firebase-admin is now initialized without any parameters within the Cloud Functions runtime."
My suspicion is the update to Firebase Cloud Functions (npm install firebase-functions#latest --save) didn't succeed. I suspect this because, although there's a lot of activity after that call, the output is just two lines:
Brandus#1.0.0 /Users/ajr/Documents/dev/sites/Brandus
└── firebase-functions#1.0.0
I've seen another question with the same symptoms: Cloud Functions Firebase v1.0. I tried to comment but my reputation is too low.
Edit: code as requested
// The Cloud Functions for Firebase SDK to create Cloud Functions and setup triggers.
const functions = require( 'firebase-functions' ) ;
var fs = require('fs');
var url = require('url');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');
// tinycolor2
const tinycolor = require( 'tinycolor2' ) ;
// The Firebase Admin SDK to access the Firebase Realtime Database.
const admin = require( 'firebase-admin' ) ;
//admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
admin.initializeApp();
That's all the code up to the point where the error is, with the previous code commented out.
I had the same problem. As suggested by Bob Snyder in one of the comments, I checked my versions in package.json and firebase-admin was still to an old version. After setting it to ^5.11.1 and running "npm install" in the functions folder, I was able to deploy right away. I did not have to change the project to TypeScript.
You could just run npm install --save firebase-admin#latest in the functions folder instead. Better this way, no arbitrary version to specify.
I was able to successfully deploy after changing my project to use TypeScript instead of Javascript. The functions appear to be working correctly after the deployment.
I followed these instructions to complete the migration.
It's possible a fresh firebase init would have fixed it even without the migration to typescript, but either way, this worked for me.
I created a custom bucket which I use to serve content at a specific url. In Firebase I created a bucket called "images.mydomain.com" and I wanted to use this so my users can simply go to http://images.mydomain.com/imagename.jpg to access uploaded images.
I wanted to have a firebase trigger on my new bucket that does Google vision analysis on the image. Here is my function:
export const imageUploaded = functions.storage
.bucket('images.mydomain.com').object().onChange( event => {
//Cool stuff happens here
});
However, when I try to deploy the function I get this error in the console
⚠ functions[imageUploaded]: Deployment error.
Failed to configure trigger GCS Bucket: imagebucket
When I go to the function logs in Firebase I see the exact same error
Failed to configure trigger GCS Bucket: imagebucket
I also went to the Google Cloud Console to look at the functions to hopefully get some more insight on the issue. When I looked at the function, it had the correct bucket configured for the function but it had that exact same error without any explanation.
I have tried to create a new bucket using that but I get the exact same error. It seems that no matter what I do I keep getting the same error. I've tried adding permission and every It doesn't make any sense.
Does anyone know what this is about and/or how I can get this working? I had this working on the main bucket, but I really need this to work for my new bucket.
Thanks
A quick update:
I tried to deploy to my production environment (my app isn't in market yet so no one is actually using it) and it worked perfectly, the trouble is, I really need my development environment working which isn't right now.
To solve my issue I used this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/issues/66
Basically, there was no answer, I just had to shutdown my development project and start a new development project. Once I started a new project my functions deployed perfectly.
I followed the following steps:
The Firebase CLI (Command Line Interface) requires Node.js and npm, which you can install by following the instructions on https://nodejs.org/
Installing Node.js also installs npm
Once you have Node.js and npm installed, install the Firebase CLI via npm:
npm install -g firebase-tools
This installs the globally available firebase command. To update to the latest version, re-run the same command
Initialize your project:
a. Run firebase login to log in via the browser and authenticate the firebase tool.
b.Go to your Firebase project directory or create the directory
c. Run firebase init functions
The tool gives you an option to install dependencies with npm. It is safe to decline if you want to manage dependencies in another way.
Select associated firebase project
Select Y to install dependencies with npm
Move to directory setup firebase functions
Edit index.js file with the function you created
Run the firebase use --add to add your Firebase project
Run firebase deploy --only functions to deploy the function
After all this I get the message in the terminal at deploy was completed but in the Firebase console, when i click on Functions tab there are no functions listed!?
Quick Tip: Make sure you are exporting the function you are trying to deploy in your index.js file. Your firebase project will deploy but Cloud Functions won't be available unless they are exported.
Make sure you save the file after uncommenting the default function and then use
firebase deploy
For Cloud Functions, it is required to add your function to the special exports object (it is a Node's way of making the function accessible outside of the current file)
Make sure to have index.js in your functions directory:
Example of a function:
// Import the Firebase SDK for Google Cloud Functions.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
// Import and initialize the Firebase Admin SDK.
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
// Your function declaration. Example of a fired function when a user is created in Auth feature.
exports.myFunction = functions.auth.user().onCreate(async (user) => {
// ... your code here.
});
Then for deployment follow these steps:
First, if not done, make sure to have firebase-tools installed:
$ npm install -g firebase-tools
And initialised: $ firebase init
For full deployment:
$ firebase deploy
OR for functions deployment
$ firebase deploy --only functions
OR to deploy specific functions
$ firebase deploy --only functions:function1,functions:function2
A good read with a very useful example: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-cloud-functions/#7
I went through the same issue recently, while performing Actions on Google Node.js Client Library Version 1 Migration Guide. to Node.js Client Library V2 (That I highly recommend) It took me a while to figure out what what was happening. At the I couldn't really figure out what the problem was! So here is what I did and it worked for me:
Make sure you have a backup copy of your cloud functions (index.js) and maybe your package.json (Just in case you don't want to remember what packages you previously had installed - Could be annoying sometimes).
Delete the entire functions directory from your project folder.
Re-launch firebase CLI with firebase init and choose Functions
Once your cloud function have been initialized, CD into the functions folder and Redeploy it using firebase deploy --only functions.
If everything goes well 😃, you should now see your function deployed on your firebase dashboard console.
N.B: Google recently released the Node.js Client Library version 2 (v2) in April 16th 2018 with a lot of new features. After April 16th, 2018, new features on Actions on Google will no longer be added to v1 of the client library. If you want to use new features, you must migrate to v2 client library.
In addition, the v1 client library does not support Dialogflow v2. If you need Dialogflow v2 functionality, you’ll also need to migrate to v2 of the client library.
Hope this helps 👍.
In step 7, you have to uncomment the sample function in there and save the file. Then, in the output of the deploy command, you will be given a url for the created helloWorld function.
I had exactly the same problem and I solved it by making sure the index.js file containing all my functions was saved on the "functions" folder inside the project folder. I am using vs code so I just clicked on file/save as and selected the correct folder.
#Learn2Code
I had the exact same issue.
Ensure that in your index.js file, you export your function before initializing your app.
Now, go ahead and run firebase deploy from your project directory.
For example:
// Take the text parameter passed to this HTTP endpoint and insert it into the
// Realtime Database under the path /messages/:pushId/original
exports.addMessage = functions.https.onRequest(async (req, res) => {
// Grab the text parameter.
const original = req.query.text;
// Push the new message into the Realtime Database using the Firebase Admin SDK.
const snapshot = await admin.database().ref('/messages').push({original: original});
// Redirect with 303 SEE OTHER to the URL of the pushed object in the Firebase console.
res.redirect(303, snapshot.ref.toString());
});
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
Make sure you're running at least version 3.5.0 of firebase-tools. To check which version you have, run:
firebase --version
If you're running the default setup, you can update firebase-tools using:
npm install -g firebase-tools
Had the same situation. The problem was that when I was doing
$ firebase deploy --only "myFunction"
That filter name: myFunction, was not exactly the same as the name of the function I was trying to deploy. Silly mistake but took me a day to realize...
To clarify one issue - it appears as though your index.js file inside the functions folder must export functions created within the same file (similar to what Fran had said).
It seems trying to organize your files into subfolders will not work properly with Firebase functions - same rules apply for using firebase serve to test locally (must create codeinside functions/index.js).
Hope this helps someone!
1) Make sure you are exporting the function you are trying to deploy in your index.js file.
2) Write 'use-strict' at the top of your file (index.js) then use console to deploy your function
Check your "default project" at firebase init. Select one with similar name was my mistake. ;)
Use firebase projects:list and firebase use <project> to make sure the Firebase CLI's "current project" is set correctly regardless of what folder you're in.
Example:
> firebase projects:list
✔ Preparing the list of your Firebase projects
┌──────────────────────┬─────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│ Project Display Name │ Project ID │ Resource Location ID │
├──────────────────────┼─────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤

Now using project beta
I had this error as well. I had copied a working function running on Google Cloud Functions from a previous project and could not figure out why it would not show up once deployed.
I needed to wrap my function in functions.https.onRequest(), which is not required on normal cloud functions.
Had the same issue.
In my case solved by using firebase deploy wihtout any --only, which revealed better error messaging and I had to setup billing in Cloud Console for the project. The setup routine can be triggered by selecting Could Functions in the Console.
I had another issue in which the Service Account was missing from the Project, so I setup a fresh project through the Console first and then added this to Firebase.
Make sure you init firebase on step back from your firebase functions. and also firebase functions name must be functions.
It works for me
One dumb gotcha I just ran into, I was running "firebase deploy" from the top level folder (one above the /functions sub-folder), and it deployed "successfully" but I never saw it in Firebase itself. It wasn't until I cd'd into /functions and re-ran firebase deploy that the full deployment actually worked.
I was experimenting with Cloud Functions for Firebase and deployed one of the samples in the functions-samples repo and linked it to an existing project using firebase use --add.
Since I was just playing around, these files were not added to my version control, and I no longer have access to the machine this was done on. I would like to build on this function or create new ones, but I am unsure how to either 1) modify and re-deploy over the original function or 2) un-use --add and start fresh. I see the function in my firebase console but no 'delete' or 'remove' button and have read through the CLI docs looking for clues to no avail.
Thanks for adding functions to the firebase 'stack.' Any guidance is much appreciated.
Functions get deleted when they aren't present during a firebase deploy. Most commonly that'd be because because you removed the function from your index.js, but if you've removed the whole functions directory that'll work too.
To continue work on a function for which you don't have the source anymore, the easiest is to start fresh. The function(s) you deploy will replace the ones you deployed previously.
Alternatively, if you're partial to using the Google Cloud Console instead of the Firebase Console, the Cloud Console will show you the code for the currently-deployed function, so you can copy-paste it onto your local machine.
The Cloud Console also has a 'delete' button for every function, and even a web editor. Be aware when editing functions from the Cloud Console though: your next firebase deploy will overwrite any changes.
To delete a function explicitly use the following command:
$ firebase functions:delete myFunction
Replace myFunction with your function name. For detailed info. follow this link: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/manage-functions
Go to Google Cloud Console Cloud Functions and select project, then select the function you want to undeploy or delete. Select it and click delete.
To delete/undeploy a single function, you can delete the code for your function and then run the following in command line:
firebase deploy --only functions:YourFunctionName
Replace YourFunctionName with the name of your function
In the case that you are working on other functions that you are not ready to deploy or do not want to deploy all of your functions for any reason, then the code above can be handy. This also feels a bit safer since you're not redeploying everything :)
Now you can simply delete a function from the function dashboard as follows. Click on the three dots mark of relevant function in the right side corner.
