Firebase Functions Deploy looking in wrong directory for Node_Modules

Question

When attempting to deploy my firebase functions, I am getting an error the the parent directory's node_modules, eventhough my firebase functions directory has its own functions. I am VERY sure I am in my functions directory when i run "firebase deploy --only functions" Any idea why It is look at the parents directory???

The error:

    > tsc -p tsconfig.json

had the same problem and this fix it for me Firebase-Admin package Typescript error in Cloud Functions Firestore : @types/googlemaps. Just add this to your tsconfig.json on functions folder:

"files": [
    "node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts"
],
"exclude": [
    "node_modules"
]
