Can not read "functions.config()" with`firebase serve`

OS: macOS Sierra v10.12.6

Version info

• firebase-tools: v4.2.1

"firebase-admin": "6.0.0",
"firebase-functions": "2.0.5",

firebase-functions:

Test case

• I set the environment configs firebase functions:config:set mockservice.value="something"
• I check that they were set firebase functions:config:get
  • results

{
  "mockservice": {
    "value": "something"
  }
}

Actual behavior

• When I run firebase serve with " functions.config()" in my code they always come up empty.

I checked both past issues (264, 282) and stackoverflow nobody seems to be having problems getting env configs locally.

I’ve deleted and re-installed node_modules, uninstalled and reinstalled firebase-tools and now I’ve resorted to a hacky workaround. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The file has to be named .runtimeconfig.json, anything else won’t work. As well, if you are on Windows Powershell, you need to run: firebase functions:config:get | ac .runtimeconfig.json (This is documented in https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator)
