New project not showing on firebase CLI

Question

I have recently had an issue with my firebase account where any new projects don't show in the CLI when I run firebase init. I deleted a project I didn't need, and that updated immediately, any help is greatly appreciated!

If you're certain there's a problem with the Firebase CLI, please contact support directly. https://firebase.google.com/support/contact/ — Doug Stevenson, Nov 18 '18 at 23:31

There is a simpler solution, first, determine your projectId from the Firebase Console. Firebase usually adds a random number to your project's name i.e if you are using demo as the project name the projectId will look like demo-1234

Next, in your terminal, cd into your project's target directory and issue the followoing command

firebase -P <projectId> init

assuming demo-1234 was my projectId, I will issue the command as below

firebase -P demo-1234 init

This worked for me. when I used ```firebase init``` without the project name, it'd tell me to add project first. When I tried to use ```firebase use --add ``` it'd tell me to init the folder first. Finally, this person's solution worked for me. – J.Ko Jan 05 '19 at 06:44
In the last step it only worked when I used "Don't Setup a default project" option. – Lalit Rane Oct 22 '19 at 11:21

Yea this is a weird one.

Use the [don't setup a default project] option

then, as mentioned by @Dragon, use firebase use --add projectId to add the project

Yep, sometimes you just don't have a valid token (this was my case) – evan Aug 17 '21 at 19:59

Check with firebase login.

You will get redirected to browser and just do sign in.

then firebase -P <Project-ID> init Then follow all options that come along.

"Which Firebase CLI features do you want to set up for this folder?" Choose "Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites."

"Select a default Firebase project for this directory:" Choose the project you created on the Firebase website.

"What do you want to use as your public directory?" Enter "build".

Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)?" Enter "Yes".

"File build/index.html already exists. Overwrite?" Enter "No".

The quickest way to do when initializing is by using the --project option:

firebase init --project <projectId>

The below solution worked for me.

Get the Project Id from firebase console. e.g. myproject-2233
On Firebase CLI run below command $ firebase -P myproject-2233
Next Select the features you want to add e.g. Web Hosting
Next Select "Don't Setup a default project"
Give the public folder name

It worked only after choosing "Don't Setup a default project"

For me, turns out I was logged into the Firebase CLI using a different account from the one that created the project. The solution was either to log into the CLI with the account that created the project with:

firebase login

or, using the Firebase console, invite the user who's logged into the CLI

Just do a refresh in your firebase console, sometimes the firebase auth token is expired. I had the same issue and after refreshing it fixed for me.
