Firebase云功能-无部署错误，但未执行

Question

I recently started setting up firebase's cloud functions. I started with a simple helloWorld function

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

const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);

exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
response.send("Hello from Firebase!");
console.log("hello from firebase");
});

I have set up npm, node.js, python 3.65, pip installed, and the functions appear in the console. It just says "0 executions" and nothing happens. I didnt get any error message.. "Successful operation" and "deploy complete".

Anyone got an idea why the function isnt being executed?

Answer 1

As Frank said, deploying a function doesn't execute the function. When you deploy an HTTP function, you will receive a URL for that function. The function runs when that url is accessed. On first deployment, that url is printed to the console. After that, you can see the full url by going to the Firebase console and finding your list of functions.

Copy that url and paste it into your browser to see it work.
