Expecting firebase-tools to deploy the cloud functions.

I have tried googled it and follow the solutions on below link but it doesn't work to me: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/610

Please help!

Thank you.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
