I want to use Firebase cloud functions but when I try to init exists project I get error.
This is the error "Error: HTTP Error: 403, The caller does not have permission"
I created project before and then I moved project folder. When I had tried deploy, it wasn't work. I don't remember which error I got. And then I tried init same project but I got this error.
I tried logout and login again but it wasn't work.
I deleted "firebase-tools" but it wasn't work too.
And after I tried on different computer and I got same error.
And also I have Firebase Admin permission.
The firebase init command initializes/enables the project to use Cloud Functions for Firebase. Owners or Editors should use this command. Owners/Editors have higher permissions which allows APIs to be enabled (e.g. allowing the project to create VMs, Cloud Functions, or create a NoSQL Database).
Therefore I think you should perform this operation with Owner/Editor role.
You need to have Owner or Editor IAM permission on the GCP project to use firebase init command.
The firebase init command initializes/enables the project to use Cloud Functions/Hosting for Firebase. Owners/Editors have higher permissions that allow APIs to be enabled etc.
it is a first-time task when you starting the development, and then init command can be avoided if you have set up your cloud functions code in VCS for multiple developers or you.
i.e, Usually after writing code, you will replicate the project to other developers, who will then also write code and use firebase use yourprojectid further.

Following the Firebase examples to create and deploy a function, I keep failing at the deploy phase.
The error, with --debug enabled, shows:
<<< [apiv2][body] POST
https://cloudfunctions.googleapis.com/v1/projects/actus-poc2/locations/us-central1/functions
{"error":{"code":403,"message":"Cloud Functions uses Artifact Registry
to store function docker images. Artifact Registry API is not enabled
in your project. To enable the API, visit
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/artifactregistry.googleapis.com/overview?project=...
Now I was expecting to be able to stay within the confines of the firebase console but this message seems to imply I need to open the Google Cloud Console to enable additional permissions.
Should the code samples better document this?
Or is this a recent change in firebase functions that breaks many of the existing examples?
I need to open the Google Cloud Console to enable additional permissions.
The reason why you need to use the Google Cloud Console is because Cloud Functions for Firebase relies on some Google Cloud services. See.
Function deployments with Firebase CLI 11.2.0 and higher rely on Cloud Build and Artifact Registry.
is this a recent change in firebase functions that breaks many of the existing examples?
Deployments to older versions also do rely on some Google Cloud services. Deployments to older versions use Cloud Build in the same way, but rely on Container Registry and Cloud Storage for storage instead of Artifact Registry.
Should the code samples better document this?
If you do think an update to said documentation could be helpful, here is more about opening Feature requests.
I've deployed hundreds of function and this is the first time I encounter this issue. Simply, it stops deploying function process, saying:
Unhandled error cleaning up build images. This could result in a small monthly bill if not corrected. You can attempt to delete these images by redeploying or you can delete them manually at https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/[project-name]/us/gcf
The way I deploy is through Firebase CLI command: firebase deploy --only functions:nameOfFunction
Question is what are those images I have to delete? Why? How can I solve it?
Cloud Functions uses another product called Cloud Build to build the server images that actually get deployed. Those images are stored in Cloud Storage, and that storage is billed to your account.
Read more about it:
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/3404

You should be able to locate and delete the files manually in the Google Cloud console. But it sounds like there is a bug here with the files not being cleaned up automatically, so you contact Firebase support directly.
For me the issue appeared to be related to my GCF billing (https://console.cloud.google.com/billing)
I had to go to my billing account to see that my payment method was expired or something, and GCF had forecasted a monthly cost of $0.01, so deploying cloud functions was sort of locked until I updated the payment method. Then the deploy immediately worked again after updating it. The build-cleanup console warning also disappeared.
The error I was seeing in my function logs in firebase console was "billing account is not available". Which I found almost zero results for in Google. Which is why I'm posting it here.
For me, the issue was caused by a silly typo.
The error:
Functions deploy had errors with the following functions:
sendNotification(europe-west) i functions: cleaning up build files... ⚠ functions: Unhandled error cleaning up build images. This
could result in a small monthly bill if not corrected. You can attempt
to delete these images by redeploying or you can delete them manually
at...
The fix was choosing the right region.
The incorrect region:
exports.sendNotification = functions
.region("europe-west")...
The correct region:
exports.sendNotification = functions
.region("europe-west3")...
Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/artifactregistry.googleapis.com/overview
select your project
enable Artifact Registry API
deploy functions again
In my experience going into Cloud Storage didn't solve the issue: there was no image there to be deleted.
I solved by changing the Node version, moving from 18 to 14.0.0
nvm install 14.0.0
nvm use 14.0.0
Check your Function logs, by either navigating through functions in the Firebase console or through https://console.cloud.google.com/logs
For me, the logs indicated that one of my typescript files had compiled under the wrong name and it was messing up the build.
Check the logs!
General troubleshooting tips given the variety of answers here:
if build is failing, read for other errors further up in the build output
add --debug to your CLI call, i.e.:
firebase deploy --only functions --debug
With --debug I found this in my output: "Permission 'artifactregistry.packages.delete' denied on resource"
My solution was to add Artifact Registry Administrator role to the IAM user deploying the function (in addition to Firebase Admin & Service Account User roles).
After adding a second project to my code using the command $ firebase use --add second-project, I get the error
There was an issue deploying your functions. Verify that your project has a Google App Engine instance setup at https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine and try again. If this issue persists, please contact support.
Error: HTTP Error: 404, Could not find Application "second-project".
when I run $ firebase deploy.
I have added separate targets and a web app through Firebase console for the second project.
What should I be checking to get rid of this error?
I just ran into this same exact issue as well. Leaving this here for anyone that runs into this issue in the future. What caused this error for me was a permissions error, when Firebase tried to access specific resources in Google Cloud such as Cloud Functions without the necessary IAM/service accounts in place.
This happens when you create a new Firebase project without setting the Default GCP resource location under Settings > General in the Firebase Console, which occurs when you create a new Firebase project without doing any additional setup. You can set this in the settings or this is also set when you follow the walk-through instructions for setting up services such as Firestore or Firebase Storage in the Firebase console.
Without this set, the <YOUR_FIREBASE_PROJECT_NAME>#appspot.gserviceaccount.com IAM/service account will not be created in Google Cloud (which is needed to create/access specific resources), therefore when you run firebase deploy, it will fail with the error you mentioned above.
You can also check why your firebase deploy is failing in the firebase-debug.log that is generated when running this command (that's how I found out the cause of this error). Though I think this file is deleted after the command finishes execution, so you'll have to pipe the output into a file or save it some other way.
TL;DR: Set Default GCP resource location, one way this can be done is in the Firebase Console under Settings > General.
I'm trying to create a function to delete all users from the Database and write it on index.ts file and deploy it. Now, how can I run it?? I don't want my clients to run it from their mobile app, I need some admin tool to run the management functions. When I see cloud functions on Firebase console there's no option to run the functions, just to view their logs.
Cloud Functions isn't for running one-time scripts. You should do that on your local machine. Cloud Functions is for running code that responds to HTTP requests, or events that occur within other products in your project.
You may want to read this article: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/03/how-to-schedule-cron-jobs-with-cloud.html - it suggests using App Engine cron job for that purpose. Relevant project on github: https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/functions-cron
Also there's an example on similar topic in Firebase docs: https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/delete-unused-accounts-cron
So I’m testing out the CLI today and firebase init with db/hosting selected, and choosing to create a new project, always says Error: Permission denied..
sudo firebase init didn’t help.
firebase-tools version 3.0.3 on OS X 10.11.5.
firebase init
You're about to initialize a Firebase project in this directory:
/Users/splaktar/Git/tmp
Before we get started, keep in mind:
* You are initializing in an existing Firebase project directory
? What Firebase CLI features do you want to setup for this folder? Database: Deploy Firebase Realtime Database Rules
=== Project Setup
First, let's associate this project directory with a Firebase project.
You can create multiple project aliases by running firebase use --add,
but for now we'll just set up a default project.
? What Firebase project do you want to associate as default? [don't setup a default project]
=== Database Setup
Firebase Realtime Database Rules allow you to define how your data should be
structured and when your data can be read from and written to.
? What file should be used for Database Rules? database.rules.json
Error: Permission denied.
I've tried the answers here but they did not help. Is this just a bug in the firebase-tools?
I have the same issue and this is how I fixed it.
run firebase init
Deselect ❯◯ Database: Deploy Firebase Realtime Database Rules
Go through other steps to setup the initial app, selecting the default for each should work just fine.
run firebase serve
Hope that helps.
Sometimes it could happen when .firebaserc file exists.
Remove .firebaserc file and reattempt firebase init.
I was with the same problem, but I was not accessing the right account.
After accessed the right account, I created a new project and run "firebase list" (before this not happened) and my new project was there.
This solved my problem.
