Firebase deploy errors starting with non-zero exit code (space in project path)

Question

I was having issues with firebase deploy command recently. After firebase deploy command all others were being deployed except firebase (storage, database etc) So I decided to reinstall firebase to fix this situation but after reinstall my problem got bigger. Now none of them are deployed with the following error:

i deploying database, functions
Running command: npm --prefix $RESOURCE_DIR run lint
npm ERR! path C:\Users\faruk\Google Drive\Android\firebase\1\$RESOURCE_DIR\package.json
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -4058

npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

Error: functions predeploy error: Command terminated with non-zero exit code4294963238

After a bit research, I saw some topics about this which advice to change

$RESOURCE_DIR to %RESOURCE_DIR%

in windows systems (I am using windows 10 btw). So, I edited my firebase.json file which is in one upper level of my functions folder. like this. (I don't know if this is the right file that I should edit)

  "database": {
    "rules": "database.rules.json"
  },
  "functions": {
    "predeploy": [
      "npm --prefix %RESOURCE_DIR% run lint"
    ]
  }
}

but after this edit, I started to get another error message like this.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The error stems from the fact that you have a space somewhere in the path of your project ("Google Drive"):

C:\Users\faruk\Google Drive\Android\firebase\1\$RESOURCE_DIR\package.json

Unfortunately, this is confusing the npm command line, and it's taking that as two arguments separated by that space.

Normally, I would expect to be able to place quotes around the whole thing to keep the space from being interpreted that way. So I tried this:

"predeploy": [
  "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint"
]

And it works for me.

I'll follow up with the Firebase team internally about this issue, as well as the fact that changes need to be made for Windows.

Thank you very much, as i always worked in the same directory i didnt think it will cause the error. Worked like a charm. – Faruk Jan 24 '18 at 19:56
Well, the lint predeploy hooks are new in projects created by CLI version 3.17.0 and later, which is very new. So you're running stuff that you probably hadn't before. Check your other Firebase projects' firebase.json to see what I mean. – Doug Stevenson Jan 24 '18 at 20:02
@DougStevenson This is still an issue, did you manage to follow up internally? P.S. I'm on a Mac – Aodh Feb 23 '18 at 20:05

What happens actually is that in Windows, firebase.json contains the following by default:

"predeploy": [
  "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint"
]

Modify it to:

"predeploy": [
  "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint"
]

It worked for me, hope it works for you.

For me, none of the above worked. Initially, on a fresh firebase-function install, I was getting error on non-zero exit code2. so I removed the functions directory, re-installed, but on the functions directory configuration step, I chose to say "no" to the add-lint step.

once I chose to not include lint, I got error non-zero exit code1.

from there checked my firebase.json file and looked at the predeploy script. because the deployment process was failing at this point, it was where I started. my firebase.json file looked like this:

{
    "functions": {
        "predeploy": [ "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint" ]
    }
}

for some reason I intuitively thought to remove the lint in the predeploy script. this fixed everything. Im on MacOS by the way..

Try running npm install inside the functions folder of the project.

Maybe you are importing one or more node modules in index.ts that isn't installed, in this case you need to install it by running like:

npm install <somemodule> --save

I had the same problem in Windows. What I did was I copied all the files which were in functions folder and passed it to %RESOURCE_DIR% folder and then I run the Firebase deploy and it deployed successfully.

This fixed it for me:

Go to "firebase.json" file in the root directory of the project
Remove everything inside "predeploy" in firebase.json, and it'll stop running the script which is causing issues.

For me, the issue was (I presume) because firebase couldn't find the script.

Didn't work:

When Using VS code ,open folder of Firecast (this helps open firebase.json of Resource Directory ) In firebase.json change the code of file to this:

{
  "functions": {
    "predeploy": [
      "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint",
      "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run build"
    ]

In my case I created a function to print logs, something like this:

function log(tag: string, value: any) {
    console.log(tag, JSON.stringify(value));
}

When I add async in front of it, it starts exploding the build :)

I solve this by re-initiating firebase init, then not selecting to use eslint. Deploy worked after that.

I'm on mac and since I moved my firebase project to another directory/laptop, I had this exact issue.

I resolved my issue by just re-initializing my firebase project.

firebase init

Be careful though. Since most of your files already exist, it might want to override them. Just say no to all override questions. Unless of course all your code is pushed to the firebase console ... which it should be
