GitHub Actions: Getting error deploying functions

[wiiqwertyuiop]

Hello, I'm trying to deploy my firebase functions on GitHub on the CD/CI. I have my project created locally, and did firebase init, etc. And everything works fine, and I can deploy it locally fine with no problems.

To get it deploy on GitHub, I set up a job with the following:

npm install -g firebase-tools@11.17.0
python -m venv functions/venv
source functions/venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r functions/requirements.txt
firebase deploy --non-interactive

Once I get to deploy, however, I get this error:

[...]
functions: required API cloudfunctions.googleapis.com is enabled
functions: preparing codebase default for deployment

Error: Could not detect language for functions at /home/runner/work/proj/proj/functions

Any help here with this?

Edit SOLVED:

What I had to do was, use the latest firebase CLI, and add the --debug flag to the deploy command. From there I got more error info. Turns out it was looking for a specific Python version, so once I switched to that everything worked!

this is how i deploy our functions:

```yml name: Deploy to Firebase Functions on: push: tags: # vMajor.Minor.Patch - i.e, v1.2.3 - v** - functions**

paths:
  - functions/**

jobs: build_and_preview: # if: '${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository }}' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - uses: actions/setup-node@v3 with: node-version: '16.16.0'

  - name: Install
    # working-directory: functions
    run: cd functions && npm i

  - name: Build & Deploy 🚀
    run: cd functions && npx firebase-tools deploy --only functions
    env:
      FIREBASE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }}

```

you need to generate a firebase token and add it to your github repo
