I'm having exact the same problem after a nvm and node upgrading and reinstalled firebase-tools.

@davidwallen have you solved it?

[kmcnellis]

I had the same earlier today. I solved it by some combination of reinstalling the gcloud sdk, upgrading node, and accepting a pop-up from Mac granting network access to Node (they happened at approximately the same time, so I wasn’t able to narrow it down)

[laiso]

1.0.0-beta.6.0 released before couple hours ago. after that could not deploy a function to my local project.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google-cloud/functions-emulator/v/1.0.0-beta.6.0

In workaround I've fixed the issue can not launch functions-emulaor from firebase-tools as bellow:

npx functions stop
rm -rf ./node_modules/firebase-tools/node_modules/@google-cloud/functions-emulator
npm i "@google-cloud/functions-emulator"@"1.0.0-beta.5
npx firebase functions:shell

[roynes]

thanks @laiso, I hope google finds a way to solve this

[rschpdr]

@laiso pointed me to the right direction but in my case I had to downgrade a version lower than him. Downgraded to @google-cloud/functions-emulator"@1.0.0-beta.4 and after solving another, unrelated error, it worked.

If you downgrade to beta.4 and encounter the "RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of "value" is out of range. " error, I got it to work applying this hack: Issue #770

[clementdevos]

@laiso recommendation fixed it for me too, but i had to run it in my global npm repository ! :)

[grant]

OK. I was able to reproduce this error by following the quickstart in the README.md. I'm not sure of the issue, but I'm guessing there's a problem with the Google API Client dependency.

Was using firebase-tools@6.6.0 but got the same issue with older verions
solved this using:

1. NODEV="$(node -v)" && rm -rf ~/.nvm/versions/node/$NODEV/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools/node_modules/@google-cloud/functions-emulator
2. npm i -g @google-cloud/functions-emulator@1.0.0-beta.4
3. NODEV="$(node -v)" && cp -R ~/.nvm/versions/node/$NODEV/lib/node_modules/@google-cloud/functions-emulator ~/.nvm/versions/node/$NODEV/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools/node_modules/@google-cloud/functions-emulator

[grant]

1.0.0-beta.6 has been unpublished.
Can you try installing the Firebase CLI an trying again for that issue?

Note that this issue still exists with this GitHub repo.

[bluet]

@grant I can confirm it works now.

Though not sure why it stuck at Parsing function triggers for several minutes every time I run firebase server --debug command. This didn't happen utill yesterday I did npm upgrade.

[bluet]

@LVeach did you uninstall and install firebase-tools again in the past 2 hours? If not, please try it, as @grant mentioned in #321 (comment) that he unpublished the latest (beta 6, w/ bug) version so you'll have the stable one back now.

[LVeach]

@bluet I thought I had, but I will attempt those steps again!

[bluet]

@LVeach if you still have the same issue, please paste your steps and the output of functions start debug info, so they can help you further. :-)

[LVeach]

@bluet Absolutely, I am currently doing a clean install and then will re-apply the steps above and see where it's at
