When I attempt to firebase deploy I get the following error.

It seems to be about this line: import * as functions from 'firebase-functions'; at the begining of my file. I have not had any issues with this in the past. But I have recently been having issues with NPM and deploying.

Error: Error occurred while parsing your function triggers.

/Users/name/Desktop/Yoveo/functions/src/index.ts:1
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Having trouble? Try firebase [command] --help
name@name-MacBook-Pro functions %

How can I fix it?

I ran npm update and then ran firebase deploy again. got the same error. But with a recommendation to run npm install -g firebase-tools which after running deploy again, resulted in no change for the error.

  • Please edit the question to show what you did to get to this point. There should be enough information in the question so that anyone can reproduce the issue. – Doug Stevenson Nov 17 '20 at 23:40
  • @DougStevenson I've had this issue for months. I don't think I will be able to recreate it. I will see what I can do. – NCT 127 Nov 17 '20 at 23:41
  • I was unable to recreate. If anyone has suggestions that would be helpful. – NCT 127 Nov 18 '20 at 01:55

Solved: I searched AsyncIterable in my folder. It returned a bunch of associated files connected to the different projects I have. I then highlighted and looked at the file path for all of them.

I found that the ones working correctly where associated with a project, and that the project that was not working would not show up. Except, however, for some files associated with no Xcode project.

Thus I concluded that there may have been a problem with the initial setup where many necessary files were associated with no particular project. Dont know how that happened. I will work to solve that now. Comment if you know how I could redo this or fix this issue.
