Question

I'm trying to deploy a cloud function on firebase. I'm successfully logged into firebase CLI from osx terminal. When I go to deploy it kicks back this error.

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 7.19.0

ESLint couldn't find the config "google" to extend from. Please check that the name of the config is correct.

Answer 1

it's because you didn't do the install

Would you like to install them now with npm? · No / Yes

you can try again configuring json .eslint or you can do it this way

npm install eslint-config-google --save-dev

Answer 2

As explained here: https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files#using-a-configuration-from-a-plugin

The extends property value can consist of:

• plugin:
• the package name (from which you can omit the prefix, for example, react is short for eslint-plugin-react)
• /
• the configuration name (for example, recommended)

Meaning, if you extend your config using the google plugin like this in your .eslintrc.yml:

extends:
  - google

you have to install it doing: npm install eslint-config-google --save-dev
