Firebase Cloud Function deploy tslint error - firebase

Question

I started a new Firebase project with the CLI.
I'm using only Cloud functions and wanted to deploy some functions
but Im getting this error
functions# lint: `tslint --project tsconfig.json`
I already changed following lines:
"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint",
"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run build"
to
"npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint",
"npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run build"
because they also threw an error.
What do I need to change?
Edit:
I created a new Firebase project (In a folder called Firebase) with the cli and only use Cloud functions.
Then I copied all my .ts files into the src folder and added my dependencies.
"firebase-admin": "~5.12.1",
"firebase-functions": "^1.0.3",
"#types/async": "^2.0.48",
"#types/camelcase": "^4.1.0",
"#types/glob": "^5.0.35",
"#types/request": "^2.47.0",
"#types/xml2js": "^0.4.2",
"async": "^2.6.0",
"camelcase": "^4.1.0",
"glob": "^7.1.2",
"install": "0.10.4",
"npm": "5.6.0",
"request": "^2.85.0",
"xml2js": "^0.4.19"
Then I run firebase deploy and got the following:

I just edited the directory paths where necessary.

Answer 1

So I created another new project which uses hosting and functions.
I got the same error as above. After searching again I found this solution.
In the firebase.json file I replaced
"functions": {
"predeploy": [
"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint",
"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run build"
]
},
with
"functions": {
"predeploy": [
"npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint",
"npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run build"
]
}
After reading this issues on Github

Answer 2

What it worked for me was delete node_modules from 'functions' folder and then install everything again. I think I should have tried this first instead of something else. Of course, make sure you have tslint dependency installed.

reinitialize firebase in your project
firebase init
