Cloud Functions deploy error during lint on Windows: “enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory”

Question

Following the firebase function getting started guide and getting a seemingly simple error once trying to deploy with:

firebase deploy --only functions

i  d         


        

Answer 1

Apart from the other suggestions, if you change the preflight/predeploy command from:

"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint", OR
"npm --prefix \"%RESOURCE_DIR%\" run lint"

to

"npm --prefix ./functions run lint"

the issue seems to get fixed. This also resolves it for both Windows and Linux.
