Firebase CLI not deploying any Cloud Functions

Question

I have an Angular project where I am trying to deploy a single firebase function.

This is what my functions directory looks like:

When I deploy these function with the command firebase deploy --only functions the output looks normal and no errors:

PS C:\Users\project-directory> firebase deploy --only functions

=== Deploying to 'firebase-project-name'...

i  deploying functions
Running command: npm --prefix "$RESOURCE_DIR" run build

> build
> tsc

+  functions: Finished running predeploy script.
i  functions: ensuring required API cloudfunctions.googleapis.com is enabled...
i  functions: ensuring required API cloudbuild.googleapis.com is enabled...
+  functions: required API cloudfunctions.googleapis.com is enabled
+  functions: required API cloudbuild.googleapis.com is enabled
i  functions: cleaning up build files...

+  Deploy complete!

Project Console: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/project-name/overview

src/user/index.ts file with the function I am trying to deploy:

import functions = require('firebase-functions');
import admin = require('firebase-admin');

// import * as functions from "firebase-functions";
// import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';

const FieldValue = require('firebase-admin').firestore.FieldValue;

const db = admin.firestore();

/**
 * Add user to firestore
 */
export const createProfile = async (userRecord: any) => {
    const uid = userRecord.uid;
    const admin = false;
    const email = userRecord.email;
    const photoURL = userRecord.photoUrl || 'enter shortened url for default image';
    const name = userRecord.displayName || 'New User';
    const spouse = userRecord.spouse || 'TBA';
    const forumUserName = userRecord.forumUserName || 'New Username set by admin';
    const address = userRecord.address || 'TBA';
    const suburb = userRecord.suburb || 'TBA';
    const state = userRecord.state || 'QLD';
    const postCode = userRecord.postCode || '2000';
    const homePhone = userRecord.homePhone || '02 1234 5678';
    const mobilePhone = userRecord.mobilePhone || '0400 123 456';
    const memNum = userRecord.memNum || 123;
    const timestamp = FieldValue.serverTimestamp();
    const memType = userRecord.memType || 'Nominated';
    const memStatus = userRecord.memStatus || `Pending`;
    const isStateCoord = userRecord.isStateCoord || false;
    const stateCoordState = userRecord.stateCoordState || 'QLD';
    //const newUserRef = db.doc(`users/${uid}`)

    // Convert any date to timestamp for consistency

    try {
        return await db
            .collection(`users`)
            .doc(userRecord.uid)
            .set({
                uid: uid,
                email: email,
                photoURL: photoURL,
                fullName: name,
                mDOB: timestamp,
                spouse: spouse,
                sDOB: timestamp,
                forumUserName: forumUserName,
                address: address,
                suburb: suburb,
                state: state,
                postCode: postCode,
                homePhone: homePhone,
                mobilePhone: mobilePhone,
                memNum: memNum,
                memType: memType,
                memStatus: memStatus,
                memDueDate: timestamp,
                lastLoginDate: timestamp,
                joined: timestamp,
                updated: timestamp,
                admin: admin,
                isAdmin: admin,
                isStateCoord: isStateCoord,
                stateCoordState: stateCoordState,
            });
    } catch (message) {
        return console.error(message);
    }
};

exports.authOnCreate = functions.auth.user().onCreate(createProfile);

src/index.ts file imports the above file:

import * as user from './user';
export const createProfile = user.createProfile

The issue is that I am not seeing the function appear in the Firebase console.

What am I overlooking?

Answer 1

You have two different export syntaxes in src/user/index.ts:

export const createProfile = async (userRecord: any) => { /* ... */ }

exports.authOnCreate = functions.auth.user().onCreate(createProfile);

Use one, or the other, not both. They are incompatible with each other.

export const createProfile = async (userRecord: any) => { /* ... */ }
export const authOnCreate = functions.auth.user().onCreate(createProfile);

Then in your main src/index.ts, import the Cloud Function export, not the plain function:

import { authOnCreate } from './user'; // import specific parts for the best performance when transpiled
export const createProfile = authOnCreate;
