Sudden error while deploying functions

[drce]

Hello everyone,
I started encountering an error today while deploying fb functions via github actions.
There were no meaningful changes in my codebase.
I'm using firebase-tools@12.9.1 and I would prefer not to update it now because some of my workflows would need to be refactored.
Error Message:
"There was an issue deploying your functions. Please verify that your project has a Google App Engine instance set up at Google Cloud Console and try again. If the issue persists, please contact support."
Thank you for your help!

Upgrading to firebase-tools@13.13.0 solved the problem for me. firebase-tools@13.30.0 on the other hand, was causing some errors when switching projects (it would force me to do a reauth first). For now I'll use 13.13, to avoid refactoring some of my workflows.

Hi @drce,

Thanks for sharing your latest status about the deployment issue that you first described. When faced with  an error like that (since 500 is usually its corresponding error code), the tool itself is usually raising a critical need for an update.

The next stumbling block you encountered in firebase-tools v13.30.0 seems odd. I'd recommend sharing your latest findings through the Firebase CLI's dedicated GitHub by filing a new issue (this is also useful for any future issues that can be taken a look at when using firebase-tools). This will directly prompt the Firebase CLI engineering team to investigate and confirm if there's a possible bug that needs to be fixed. 

When filing an issue there, make sure to specify the information about your environment, the detailed comparison between the actual and expected behavior; and the exact steps to test and reproduce the issue.
