Run firebase deploy

Try replacing the string "$RESOURCE_DIR" with "%RESOURCE_DIR%" in your "firebase.json" file.

Now run the deploy command again. It worked for me.

Explanation: This fix is for Windows because %RESOURCE_DIR% will be recognized as an environment variable only by Windows command-line interpreters. As an ultimate consequence, the project isn't cross-platform anymore, as mentioned in the answer of this similar question.

Thank you so much, it just worked! Do you know any particular reason for this? Is this because of difference in file referencing in DOS and *nix? – Mrigank Pawagi Dec 29 '18 at 14:42
Yes, In Dos variables begin with %, while for *nix, they begin with $. – Magnus Melwin Dec 06 '19 at 08:36

1. In firebase.json file

try and replace $RESOURCE_DIRwith %RESOURCE_DIR% and

"npm --prefix $RESOURCE_DIR run lint" to "npm --prefix %RESOURCE_DIR% run lint"

(the above one just worked around )

2. npm install -g git://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools#master

please try this installation again in ur project folder it should solve the issue

It looks like you're either using an old version of the Firebase CLI, or a project that was initialized with an old version. The cleanest thing to do would be to upgrade your CLI:

npm install -g firebase-tools

And create a whole new project from scratch with firebase init. Then, reconstruct your new project with the code from the old project.

Solution

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

to

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

Step1: open firebase.json you will show this JSON file

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

Step2: Delete "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint", and "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run build"

"functions": { "predeploy": [] }

Now deploy, it works fine
