firebase deploy Hangs in Terminal

I am trying to upload a project to Firebase hosting. I recently reinstalled macOS Sierra, so have fresh installs of Node and firebase-tools.

However, I get the following error when running firebase deploy --debug

Whats the best way to proceed forward? I have tried reinstalling firebase-tools with 3 different versions of Node.

Additional comments:

  1. had to install firebase-tools with --unsafe-perm command to get it to install.
  2. firebase init only created .firebaserc file and a firebase.json file with {}
  3. Manually created firebase.json file with proper public folder, etc.
Solution

  • Steps taken to correct problem

    1. Uninstall Node cd /usr/local/lib sudo rm -rf node_modules

    2. Install Homebrew /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

    3. Install Yarn brew install yarn

    4. Install Firebase CLI yarn add firebase-tools

    5. Go to project folder, firebase login, firebase init
      a. init creates .firebaserc file correctly
      b. firebase.json still blank, i.e. {}

    6. Create firebase.json manually:

      {
  "hosting": {
    "public": "build/unbundled",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ],
    "rewrites": [{
    "source": "**",
    "destination": "/index.html"
    }]
  }
}

    7. firebase deploy now works properly.
