Firebase functions fails to deploy with same error in all functions - firebase

Question

I'm trying to deploy my firebase functions but all the functions return me error, I had already deployed before without any error.
I did not install anything new since the last time that a deploy was correct.
Every functions return almost the same error, the only thing that changes is the "errorId"
I have tried to logout from firebase-cli and login again, i have updated firebase-tools, firebase-admin, firebase-functions from npm.
I'm deploying with firebase deploy --only functions
Deployment error.
Build failed:
{
"error": {
"canonicalCode": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",

Correct deploy of the functions.
Update***
I have tried to delete everything and uninstall every package except for the ones required for firebase-functions and start over with one test function in node 8 i'm having the same issue, with node 6 it was deployed, but i need to use node 8 because i need to use await/async

Answer 1

I had a similar deployment failure. I think it was caused by me running firebase deploy from the app directory rather the the app\functions directory. In any case, I ran the following commands from the terminal (using VSCode in my case) having changed into the app\functions directory. Deployment then worked perfectly.
npm install --save #google-cloud/storage
npm install --save firebase-admin#latest
npm install --save firebase-functions#latest
firebase deploy
Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Checking the log
You can examine the actual logs by using this command to open the log
firebase functions:log
Doing this is really helpful since specific issue will usually be visible there. I sometimes even had error as simple as a missing package name in package.json
It would have been much helpful if firebase could show better info on the errors directly. but at least we can find them here.
I hope it helps

Answer 3

I had similar issue and it ended up being a missing module in my package.json
You can view more detailed / useful logs here: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs

Answer 4

Firebase functions:log really helps! In my case I had not enabled signin method in the firebase project (:
