Can't deploy Firebase functions (Failed to fetch Run service undefined)

Question

Can't deploy Firebase functions. I have two project aliases, it's working fine for the first project (dev), but not for the second (prod).
Whenever I write firebase deploy --only functions I get the following message

i deploying functions

I had the same issue and it was fixed for me when installed the latest firebase tools

npm install -g firebase-tools

This did the trick for me: sudo npm install -g firebase-tools --force – Pregnant

If you've added firebase-tools to your ci/cd pipeline and it keeps failing with the same error, you just need to update the firebase-tools version being used in your pipeline. See cloud.google.com/build/docs/deploying-builds/deploy-firebase for more – Gyrostatic

If you are stuck on a lower version (I was stuck on 11.1.0) then follow this https://mcmap.net/q/409549/-cannot-upgrade-or-remove-firebase-from-system to get to 11.18.0 – Closer

Answer 2

This was also fixed automatically by upgrading the version of firebase-tools using the command npm install -g firebase-tools.

You can add the --force flag if you encounter the below error

npm ERR! code EEXIST
npm ERR! path /usr/local/bin/firebase
npm ERR! EEXIST: file already exists
npm ERR! File exists: /usr/local/bin/firebase

Answer 3

You may also need to re-source your terminal. I checked my version after npm i -g firebase-tools and it still wasn't 11.18.0 but did a source ~/.zshrc and it fixed the issue.

Or source ~/.bashrc depending upon your environment. Or simply close the terminal and reopen before attempting firebase deploy after updating firebase-tools. – Champaigne

Answer 4

You need to update your firebase-tools. Run npm install -g firebase-tools.

Answer 5

When you're using Firebase Tools with a version that is less than or equal to v11.18.0, you might encounter the following error:

Error: Failed to fetch Run service undefined

The first thing that you should take into consideration is to update to a version that is newer than or equal to v11.18.0. By the time I'm answering this question, the latest version is 11.20.0.

Furthermore, install the latest Firebase tools by using the following line of code in your terminal:

npm install -g firebase-tools --force
npm audit fix

P.S. It's also recommended to update Firebase Function to the latest available version which now it's 4.1.1.

Answer 6

Make sure you execute npm install -g firebase-tools in the functions folder.

This installs the dependency globaly, not in the functions folder. – Selves
