[maikelsgit]

Same issue here!

[voiceactivity]

Yes, I can confirm that as well. It doesn't work either ☹️

Hi, I confirm this issue. firebase tool was removed after the latest update via npm.

[nuthinking]

The issue is with a dependency, even downgrading to 8.0.2 now fails. Which dependency is it? Despite the error, it doesn't look like storage-engine was just updated. firebase-action looks like it solved it by specifying a new node version but that didn't work for me. Ideas?

[kleiteimc]

Ran into the same problem too. 🙁

[anthonycollinnadeau]

Same here... We install firebase-tools in our ci for deployment I tried to change node version 14.4 to 12.18 and change firebase-tools 8.4.3 to 8.4.2 and 8.3.0 they not seem to work either

[robyedlin]

👍 Same problem.

[vsaravind007]

Same issue on Node Version v12.14.1

[davidturtle]

Same.
8.4.2->8.4.3.

[Mistic92]

Same when running on CI where fresh build is done.

Thanks everyone for the reports. Looks like there's something seriously going wrong here although we don't quite know what yet. Will look into it today.

[samtstern]

Clearly has something to do with this package:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/storage-engine

Last published 10 months ago so not a recent update issue. But there's a big uptick in downloads recently:

The only package that depends on it is this one:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/diagnostics

Running npm ls storage-engine gives me no results but I'm going to try removing my package-lock.json and node_modules to see if that changes.

[samtstern]

Ok we do have a dependency on diagnostics:

[email protected] /Users/samstern/Projects/firebase-tools
└─┬ [email protected]
  └── [email protected]

Which means we're getting the storage-engine dep from here:
https://github.com/3rd-Eden/diagnostics/blob/master/package.json#L60

Now I just need to determine what changed recently and what to do about it.

[samtstern]

Ok here's the root cause;
winstonjs/winston#1814

Looks like a dependency of winston now requires git to be installed. The workaround is to make sure you have git on your machine although obviously we need to find a more permanent solution.

[samtstern]

@nuthinking I am not sure what "using the CLI manually" means but yes anything to do with admin.firebase.com is not related to this issue.

[samtstern]

Ok winston has released version 3.3.2 which I think should fix everything as long as you reinstall the Firebase CLI. Thanks everyone for your patience, that was a wild ride!

[voiceactivity]

Fixed!
Thank you team for a very quick action!

[davidturtle]

Thx!

[moryapant]

how it is fixed? can someone please explain?
