Firebase error when deploying cloud function: Cannot find module ...firebase-functions\lib\bin\firebase-functions.js'

Question

I'm facing this issue and I don't know how to resolve it. I'd like to deploy a Firebase hosting app which use cloud functions from Firebase.

so here is the logs

firebase deploy --only functions:helloWorld

=== Deploying to 'qdconstruction-frontend'...

  requireStack: []
}

Node.js v18.19.1

my function folder contains the default function in the index.js I did npm install in this folder too.

const {onRequest} = require("firebase-functions/v2/https");
const logger = require("firebase-functions/logger");


exports.helloWorld = onRequest((request, response) => {
  logger.info("Hello logs!", {structuredData: true});
  response.send("Hello from Firebase!");
});

So I tried to change my node version, I tried to start a new project with only functions (which works). I'm using nvm manager to manage node. No problem with other node usage before. so I'm wondering if it's possible to set firebase hosting and cloud functions in the same project? I think it should be since the firebase init propose multiple services from Firebase.. It's a new project so I'm using last versions generally. I also noticed that

D\my-project\functions\node_modules.bin' is not recognized ... Error: Cannot find module 'D:\theparentdirofmy-project\

the path are not the same. Is it normal?

jesus I found the problem. My parent folder has a '&' character which cause the problem.
