Error deploying Firebase Cloud Functions on Node runtime 10, but works on Node runtime 8

Question

I am trying to implement geofirestore in my cloud functions.

The functions deploy correctly in Node runtime 8, but there is an error in deployment in runtime 10.

My index.js header is as below:

const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const { GeoCollectionReference, GeoFirestore, GeoQuery, GeoQuerySnapshot } = require('geofirestore');
admin.initializeApp();

const db = admin.firestore();
const geofirestore = new GeoFirestore(db);

The error message I get on Node runtime 10 is:

i  deploying functions
Running command: npm --prefix "$RESOURCE_DIR" run lint

> functions@ lint C:\Users\naabr\Projects\flutter\mg_sos\firebase\functions
> eslint .

Did you follow the link to learn how to view the function logs, as the error message suggests? What did you find there? Please edit the question to show the complete errors. – Goof

Without knowing what the logs show whatever we suggest will be a shot in the dark. Please check the logs (link at the end of the error log you have provided), and update the question. Please leave a comment when you do so we know you have made the update. – Kaule

Hey, thanks for your comments!.. I managed to get it working by deleting the Node 8 functions and re-creating them as Node 10 functions... (I'm pretty new to all of this and couldn't figure out how to get logging to work, so I just tried this and we're good) – Linzer

Could you post your solution as an answer so that other's could spot the workaround easier? – Eject

Answer 1

Go to the functions folder, then open package.json file. Now change the file as given below

"engines": {
"node": "10"
}

to

"engines": {
"node": "8"
}

Then, again deploy function.

This fixed my issue. Thanks. – Hoes

This trick is not working anymore. Error: Your project xcdy must be on the Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan to complete this command. Required API cloudbuild.googleapis.com can't be enabled until the upgrade is complete. To upgrade, visit the following URL – Meistersinger

Answer 2

I had the same error message when converting to Node runtime 10 (and deploying from a different folder), but it was because of my dependencies.

When adding dependencies I needed to

npm install dependencyName

in the functions folder, not the root folder.

this was my issue, i deleted the package-lock.json, package.json, and node_modules from the root folder after accidentally running npm install in the root instead of functions folder. good catch Josh, no need to downgrade! – Aviatrix

This happended for me also! I was using axios in cloud functions but accidently installed it outside of the 'functions' directory. – Beaverboard

Answer 3

I was getting same error. In my case I was missing a dependency in package.json (In the functions folder not the project root folder). You can run

npm install xyz

From your functions directory (Where you have your functions written) Hope this helps somebody.

Change the following in functions/package.json:

"engines": {
  "node": "8"
}
