Get "HTTP Error: 404, Method not found." when running "firebase deploy --only functions" on Firebase Cloud Functions

Question

I'm stuck with this problem since hours and I thought that maybe one of you encountered it before.

I get Error: HTTP Error: 404, Method not found. when I run firebase deploy --only functions so I'm unable to deploy my last updates.

• This happens with ALL my Firebase Cloud Functions projects

• This does not happen with my Firebase Hostings

Here's what I get when I add --debug:

Thanks for your help! :)

Answer 1

You're using a very old version (7.0.0) of the Firebase CLI. The latest is 8.9.0. Upgrade it by following the instructions to install it. If you installed with npm, then just run npm i -g firebase-tools. You should be diligent about keeping it up to date over time, as it changes frequently.
