Having the same issue, would appreciate a workaround!

I ran into the same problem. I used python 3.9, but the firebase package requires python >3.10. Upgrading and updating the path variables solved the issue.

If it still doesn't work: The problem comes from the "python.js" file, located under AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\firebase-tools\lib\functions

Line 29 onwards:

    const install = await (0, prompt_1.promptOnce)({
        name: "install",
        type: "confirm",
        message: "Do you want to install dependencies now?",
        default: true,
    });
    if (install) {
        const upgradeProcess = (0, python_2.runWithVirtualEnv)(["pip3", "install", "--upgrade", "pip"], config.path(setup.functions.source), {}, { stdio: ["inherit", "inherit", "inherit"] });
        await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            upgradeProcess.on("exit", resolve);
            upgradeProcess.on("error", reject);
        });
        const installProcess = (0, python_2.runWithVirtualEnv)([(0, python_1.getPythonBinary)(python_1.LATEST_VERSION), "-m", "pip", "install", "-r", "requirements.txt"], config.path(setup.functions.source), {}, { stdio: ["inherit", "inherit", "inherit"] });
        await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            installProcess.on("exit", resolve);
            installProcess.on("error", reject);
        });
    }
}

It seems that after you hit "yes" to installing dependencies, the script tries to upgrade pip, and then install the packages specified under "requirements.txt". It is the upgrade pip command that fails.

If you simply hit "no", the setup completes. You can then go ahead and pip install requirements.txt on your own. (This is how I found out my python version was too old - it gave me a more helpful error message when I did it manually. After upgrading python I tried to go through the setup again and this time it completed.)

My environment is 3.10 on Windows.

Thank you

Same issue. I have tried numerous times, here are some logs from the firebase-debug.log file.

^^ the above fails just to activate the environment

Then when I actually activate the environment by just doing source venv/Scripts/activate

I get the below

A fresh install of python fixed it for me.

[hmalik144]

1. Open Powershell as admin
2. Run command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
3. Go back to terminal in project
4. Run command: firebase init
5. navigate though: select 'functions' -> language = python -> (go through until Do you want to install dependencies now?)
6. Do you want to install dependencies now? Yes

activiate.bat should now be in /functions/venv/Scripts

[jelling]

Same spawn "C:\src\maiker\functions\venv\Scripts\activate.bat" ENOENT issue. Fix was to reinit the Firebase project. I suspect this worked because Firebase then created the venv directory as it wanted.

Odd part was that I had a working environment as of a week or two ago and had previously deployed the functions.

[sieutruc]

I got the same error , any solution for that?

[B2Gdevs]

Yep. Switched to google cloud run. Basically the same thing but I can control the binaries available and environment variables

[Anquuni]

I have the same error, is there still no solution?

[sieutruc]

@Anquuni a workaround is to reinstall the Python that fixed for me.

[maximalniq]

Instal python >3.10 , and restart system

[johnnyoshika]

I ran into a similar. The problem occurs in this firebase init functions step if I choose to install dependencies:

Do you want to install dependencies now? Yes

The system cannot find the path specified.

Error: An unexpected error has occurred.

Inspecting firebase-debug.log shows this:

This error occurs whether I create the venv virtual environment in advance or not. I got around this by selecting No when firebase init asks me whether I want to install dependencies:

Do you want to install dependencies now? No

I then install dependencies manually inside the virtual environment with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

I was facing some problems, I created a video. Maybe it can help some of you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_sayYt50oM

[paulo101977]

I manually installed the packages using Python on my machine, instead of the binaries that Firebase downloads:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt -t ./venv/Lib/site-packages/

This command must be run within the directory where the requirements.txt

[taeold]

Hello. Sorry for all the issues. It looks like the Firebase CLI isn't a reporting a clear error message when some of the necessary tools, like python.exe, pip3, venv/scripts/activate.bat, can't be access by the CLI. That would explain some of the reports where a fresh install of python helps resolve the issue.

We are going to foucs on making the error messages more clear so that your system has all the necessary program it needs to run the emulator. Thanks for your patience as we try to improve the error messaging.
