Firebase Cloud Function deploy tslint error

Question

I started a new Firebase project with the CLI. I'm using only Cloud functions and wanted to deploy some functions but Im getting this error

functions@ lint: `tslint --project tsconfig.json`

I already changed following lines:

  "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint",
  "npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run build"

to

  "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint",
  "npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run build"

because they also threw an error.

What do I need to change?

Edit:

I created a new Firebase project (In a folder called Firebase) with the cli and only use Cloud functions. Then I copied all my .ts files into the src folder and added my dependencies.

 "firebase-admin": "~5.12.1",
 "firebase-functions": "^1.0.3",
 "@types/async": "^2.0.48",
 "@types/camelcase": "^4.1.0",
 "@types/glob": "^5.0.35",
 "@types/request": "^2.47.0",
 "@types/xml2js": "^0.4.2",
 "async": "^2.6.0",
 "camelcase": "^4.1.0",
 "glob": "^7.1.2",
 "install": "0.10.4",
 "npm": "5.6.0",
 "request": "^2.85.0",
 "xml2js": "^0.4.19" 

Then I run firebase deploy and got the following:

I just edited the directory paths where necessary.

Answer 1

So I created another new project which uses hosting and functions. I got the same error as above. After searching again I found this solution. In the firebase.json file I replaced

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

with

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

After reading this issues on Github

Answer 2

reinitialize firebase in your project

firebase init

Answer 3

What it worked for me was delete node_modules from 'functions' folder and then install everything again. I think I should have tried this first instead of something else. Of course, make sure you have tslint dependency installed.
