failed to deploy function

[niztal]

After running functions deploy myFun --trigger-http, I get this error:

Error: functions.config() is not available. Please use the latest version of the Firebase CLI to deploy this function. at init (C:\Projects\tismo_cloud_functions\functions\node_modules\firebase-functions\lib\config.js:46:19) at Object.config (C:\Projects\tismo_cloud_functions\functions\node_modules\firebase-functions\lib\config.js:29:9) at Object.

We're still working on first class support for Cloud Functions for Firebase. In the meantime you'll need to manually create a config.json in your functions directory for the emulator to work.

[niztal]

I see..

can you please explain how to create config.json and what values should I set?

Thanks.

[jamesdaniels]

Depends what you're using. If it's the admin sdk, you'll need to put in your application default credentials. If you've set any config() values you should put those in too. firebase functions:config:get will show you what you've set or just console.log(functions.config()); from your productions version to get an idea what the json looks like.

[niztal]

Can someone please help me with that? I can't manage to set up config file. The documentation is not clear how to do that, so I won't get this "Error: functions.config() is not available. Please use the latest version of the Firebase CLI to deploy this function."

I have a similar issue. The structure of the functions folder seems to have changed with beta release https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started

index.js is now in the functions/index.js

so when running this functions deploy helloWorld --trigger-http

The error: Error: Cannot find module /Users/xxx/project1 relates to the index.js file being looked for in the root, while it is now here /Users/xxx/project1/functions/index.js

[gerhardcit]

Having said that you can do this:

functions deploy helloWorld --trigger-http --local-path=./functions

[gerhardcit]

@niztal , the format of the config.json in the functions folder is this:

{
    "firebase": {
        "databaseURL": "https://<YOUR-PROJECT-ID>.firebaseio.com",
        "credential": {
            "type": "service_account",
            "project_id": "<your-project-id>",
            "private_key_id": "<theKey>",
            "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----bla bla bla bla =\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
            "client_email": "somethinghere@<your-project-id>.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
            "client_id": "<some numbers>",
            "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
            "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
            "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
            "client_x509_cert_url": "<and all that>"
        }
    }
}

following this example https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/write-firebase-functions

You can then write to your firebase db from a local deploy. this is the full index.js file

var functions = require('firebase-functions');

const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);  // this looks for config.json in the functions folder

exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
  // Grab the text parameter.
  const original = req.query.text || 'Nothing said';
  // Push it into the Realtime Database then send a response
  admin.database().ref('/messages').push({original: original}).then(snapshot => {
    // Redirect with 303 SEE OTHER to the URL of the pushed object in the Firebase console.
    //res.redirect(303, snapshot.ref); // don't do this when curling
    res.send(snapshot.key);
  });
});

deploy it

functions deploy helloWorld --trigger-http --local-path=./functions

and test it

curl 'http://localhost:8010/<your-project-id>/us-central1/helloWorld?text=xxxx'

Remember to have functions running before you do this functions start

[niztal]

Great I'll test it.. thank a lot

[varunarora]

Hey @gerhardcit thanks for those tips!

I get the following error message:

FIREBASE WARNING: {"code":"app/invalid-credential","message":"Credential implementation provided to initializeApp() via the \"credential\" property failed to fetch a valid Google OAuth2 access token with the following error: \"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND metadata.google.internal metadata.google.internal:80\"."}

Do you possibly know what this might be about?

[gerhardcit]

@varunarora , have you used the credentials somewhere else successfully?. Only seems that your credentials and the url might not be aligned?

[justinhandley]

Where do you get the information listed under credential?

[qalqi]

@gerhardcit Followed your steps and I am getting error message Failed to get token: Error: Credential implementation provided to initializeApp() via the "credential" property failed to fetch a valid Google OAuth2 access token with the following error: "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND metadata.google.internal metadata.google.internal:80".

Tried the following trouble shoots 1) firebase login and firebase logout 2) Change local time to US time 3) Create new projectname-firebase-adminsdk-xxxxx.json and updated config.json 4) Tested in multiple internet networks.

What could be issue? Thanks in Advance

Note, you no longer need to use the Cloud Functions Emulator directly as the emulator has been integrated into the Firebase SDK. See Running Functions Locally in the Firebase docs. Using the Firebase SDK to run your functions locally should eliminate these .config() issues.

Hi! this is latest firebase SDK:
