Deploy Fails On Firebase-tools@13.34.0 – Skips File Upload, Results In Page Not Found
Introduction
Firebase is a popular platform for building web and mobile applications. It provides a range of tools and services for developers to create, deploy, and manage their applications. However, like any other platform, Firebase is not immune to issues and bugs. In this article, we will explore a specific issue that has been reported by developers using the Firebase CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool, specifically with the version 13.34.0.
Environment Information
To troubleshoot the issue, it is essential to provide detailed information about the environment in which the issue occurs. This includes the version of the Firebase CLI tool being used, the operating system, and any other relevant details.
Firebase CLI Version
The version of the Firebase CLI tool being used is 13.34.0, which is the version that is experiencing the issue. However, when the same deployment is run with 13.31.2, it works correctly.
Platform
The platform being used is Ubuntu, a popular Linux distribution.
Test Case
The test case involves deploying an application using the Firebase CLI tool. The deployment process works fine with the version 13.31.2, but after updating to 13.34.0, the deployment process finishes much faster (~40 seconds instead of the usual 6 minutes), and no files seem to be uploaded to Firebase Hosting.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:
- Install firebase-tools@13.34.0.
- Run firebase deploy.
- The deployment completes very quickly (~40 seconds, when it normally takes around 6 minutes).
- When accessing the application, the following error appears: Page Not Found - This file does not exist and there was no index.html found in the current directory or 404.html in the root directory.
Expected Behavior
The expected behavior is that the deployment should properly upload the application files to Firebase Hosting, making the application accessible after the process is complete.
Actual Behavior
The actual behavior is that:
- The deployment finishes much faster than expected (~40 seconds instead of ~6 minutes).
- No files seem to be uploaded to Firebase Hosting.
- The application shows a "Page Not Found" error, indicating that the index.html and 404.html files were not found.
- Running the same deployment with firebase-tools@13.31.2 works correctly.
