How to firebase deploy through Bitbucket Pipeline?

Question

I am using angular-cli project and I used Heroku for CD integration. And the repository is on Bitbucket. Now I am going to use firebase deploy service through Bithubcket pipeline, so I tried as below.

package.json

{
  "name": "mail-activator",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "build": "ng build",
    "test": "ng test",
    "lint": "ng lint",
    "e2e": "ng e2e",
    "postinstall": "ng build --prod",
    "deploy": "firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_TOKEN",
    "start": "node server.js"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^4.1.3",
    "@angular/cli": "1.0.3",

    "@angular/forms": "^4.1.3",
    "@angular/http": "^4.1.3",
    "@angular/material": "^2.0.0-beta.5",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^4.1.3",

    "angularfire2": "^4.0.0-rc.0",
    "bootstrap": "^4.0.0-alpha.6",
    "core-js": "^2.4.1",
    "express": "^4.15.3",
    "firebase": "^4.0.0",
    "firebase-tools": "^3.9.0",
    "hammerjs": "^2.0.8",
    "ng2-sweetalert2": "0.0.8",
    "ngx-validators": "^3.0.0",
    "promise-polyfill": "^6.0.2",
    "rxjs": "^5.4.0",
    "sweetalert2": "^6.6.3",
    "zone.js": "^0.8.11"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular/cli": "1.0.3",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^4.1.3",
    "@types/jasmine": "2.5.47",
    "@types/node": "~7.0.22",

    "karma-jasmine": "~1.1.0",
    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^0.2.2",
    "protractor": "~5.1.2",
    "ts-node": "~3.0.4",
    "tslint": "~5.3.0",
    "typescript": "~2.3.3"
  }
}

and This is Bitbucket pipeline script.

image: node:7.6.0

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
          - npm install
          - npm run postinstall
          - npm run deploy

I tried this, but it says

i  functions: preparing functions directory for uploading...
Error: Error parsing triggers: Cannot find module 'firebase-functions'
Try running "npm install" in your functions directory before deploying.

I am not sure if the bitbucket pipe line uses docker or some container? On Travis we installed firebase-tools as global. npm install -g firebase-tools

But I am not sure it will works on bitbucket pipeline.

Any helps are welcomed.

Try using another image. There's an example that uses both angular cli and firebase tool for it. So you do something like:

image: gabrielaraujof/angular-cli

pipelines:
 default:
   - step:
    script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
      - npm install
      - ng build
      - ng test --watch=false
      - firebase deploy --token=$FIREBASE_TOKEN --project project-name-firebase --non-interactive

You get the "$FIREBASE_TOKEN" on firebasetool by running:

firebase login:ci

Save it on bit bucket's Environment variables(Settings > Environment variables) and run the pipeline
