Error while deploying firebase function which creates agora token

Question

I have tried many things to deploy this function, installing and uninstalling node many times and many more tries but it still giving me same error. What I am trying to achieve is using agora-access-token package to generate token using firebase function the code is:

const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const {RtcTokenBuilder, RtcRole} = require("agora-access-token");

exports.agoraToken = functions.region("asia-south1").
    https.onCall((data, context)=> {
      const appID = "<myAppID>";
      const appCertificate = "myAppCertificate";
      const uid = data.uid;
      const channelId = data.channelId;
      const role = RtcRole.PUBLISHER;

      const expirationTimeInSeconds = 3600;
      const currentTimestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
      const privilegeExpiredTs = currentTimestamp + expirationTimeInSeconds;
      const token = RtcTokenBuilder.buildTokenWithUid(appID,
          appCertificate, channelId, uid, role, privilegeExpiredTs);
      return token;
    });

And the error is:

Answer 1

What I can propose is that you use --debug because it provides information not found in the logs, and it can also fix a problematic deployment.

Try running the deployment with --debug. Example: firebase --debug deploy.

Cloud Function logs can be seen in the Firebase dashboard, the Cloud Logging UI, or the firebase command-line tool.

To view more logs, here is the link to the documentation.

The problem was that I did not added dependency in package.json file. I had to add agora-access-token dependency in package.json in function folder.
