I have a problem with a web hosting project. I created a new proyect in google firebase, and I executed the following commands:
C:\myproject>firebase init functions
C:\myproject>firebase deploy --only functions
But the site says this:
Site Not Found
Why am I seeing this?
There are a few potential reasons:
You haven't deployed an app yet.
You may have deployed an empty directory.
This is a custom domain, but we haven't finished setting it up yet.
How can I deploy my first app?
Refer to our hosting documentation to get started.
What could I do for show, at least, some text when an user go to my project url?
The way you now invoke the Firebase CLI, it will only deploy the Cloud Functions in your project. It will not deploy the web site. In fact, the way you've run it, it probably didn't even create a web site to deploy.
Initialize the project with:
firebase init
And answer the questions this shows.
If you want to deploy the web site, use:
firebase deploy --only hosting
More likely you should simply deploy everything to prevent running into this problem:
firebase deploy

I deployed to firebase hosting,
after that
I want to delete the duplicate deployed
but I couldn't find a way to delete the hosting
so what I did,
I used firebase deploy hosting:disable sample-project
and I deleted all rollback in the console
now I have no way to re-deploy it.
any one knows how to revive my google deploy?
or the only way to revive it is just create another project and abandon this one ?
I am developing a project with Firebase backend, utilising Firebase Functions. I actually two projects: myProject and myProject-test (used for deployment testing).
When submitting API calls, my (React) front-end is configured to call the myProject-test URL when running in local development, and only direct the calls to myProject when deployed on PROD.
The problem I am facing is that when I start my cloud functions emulator using firebase emulators:start, my cloud functions get started on the localhost:5001/myProject/... url instead of localhost:5001/myProject-test/..., and hence the API calls from my local development instance never arrive.
How can I control for which project the emulators start?
This is what the firebase use command is for. Read the documentation on managing aliases. You can run the command firebase use PROJECT_ID|ALIAS to set the current project or alias that is currently use use for the emulator or other commands.
So, I was wondering, is it possible to move a firebase hosting site to a different project?.
I searched through the documentation, but I dont see anything anywhere that says how to do it, or if it is even possible
There is no built-in operation to move to a new project. But if you're deploying with the Firebase CLI, you can run:
firebase use <new project ID>
And then:
firebase deploy
To deploy the same content to the other project.
If you have your code for the site then you can just create a new folder and use firebase init hosting and initialize hosting in new project.
After that the process of deploying remains the same i.e.
firebase deploy --only hosting
PS: Also if you are using any custom domains, you would have to verify the ownership of the domain again in the new project.
I have express, react based existing project that I managed to port to Firebase hosting with cloud functions successfully..at least on the dev server.
It looks like this..
This is running on http://localhost:5000/ with command
firebase serve --only functions,hosting
Now, when I deploy this, it looks like
This is NOT a static site. Following the firebase vid here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOeioOKUKI8
So I have express server running with
app.use('/static',express.static('../public'));
I had to do this because otherwise, firebase hosting treats each path as public path and it messes up scripts sourcing from public folder and also my react router in react app.
While this works on local server run by firebae, it throws 404 on prod.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
The point is I got all this working on local machine but the deployment just won't oblige.
The deployment was not smooth.
firebase deploy
didn't work.
firebase --only hosting
worked.
firebase --only functions
did not work for quite sometime.
It kept throwing
Error setting up the execution environment for your function. Please try again after a few minutes.
a few times before it finally worked. And I didn't change anything to make it work. Just did it by itself.
Is there something I am missing? I am very new to firebase hosting.
I already have a production site running somewhere and I wish to port it to firebase. But I can not have random 'try again after a few minutes problems'.
But first things first, why are my static files not rendering on prod when they do on dev?
Thanks
Your public directory will need to be nested beneath your functions folder, as only files within the functions folder are deployed to Cloud Functions and available from Node.js.
The local emulator is not actively guarding against this kind of tree navigation, which is why it works locally.
In general, though, you'll likely want to restructure your app a bit so that your static assets are deployed to Firebase Hosting directly rather than being served by Express.
I want to try the demo for polymerfire in firebase. To get it run locally I followed these steps. But what exact steps do I need to do to get it to run in firebase?
I figured firebase init and firebase deploy should be run but the browser only displays errors in the console. Must the polymer project be build in a certain way and what should the firebase "public" folder be?
All files from public folder will be deployed to your Firebase static web hosting, so you can access them though your Firebase hosting address like https://projectname-5gek53.firebaseapp.com/. This allows you to upload your web app.
You build your polymer app (I guess you need to run polymer build). You drag all files generated as production build to your public folder. Next, you run firebase deploy and after deployment process your app will be accessible from your hosting address as I mentioned above.
Edit: Polymerfire demo is actually not that simple to export, but I found a really nice tutorial step-by-step from Google Codelabs here is a link Build a Progressive Web App with Firebase, Polymerfire and Polymer Components
I just installed a new version of the polymer cli and Firebase cli. When I do a Polymer build, no build/bundled or build/unbundled is created.
I do get a build/default, which I can run with a firebase serve and a firebase deploy. So something has changed recently. just fyi
