Im having trouble while serving or deploying Firebase Hosting Functions

Question

The Cloud Functions emulator requires the module "firebase-admin" to be installed. This package is in your package.json, but it's not available. You probably need to run "npm install" in your functions directory.

I was running well my project till i was hit with that issue. Any help, please do tell. Thanks. {Below is the image of what i am getting}

Answer 1

This is a bug in firebase-tools versions 6.9.0 and 6.9.1 . The solution is to downgrade to 6.8.0 for now:

npm install -g firebase-tools@6.8.0
