Cannot launch firebase emulators (Cloud Functions) requires the module "firebase-admin" to be version >8.9.0 so your version is too old

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools@8.7.0

macOS

[REQUIRED] Test case

I don’t have any test case. Please see steps to reproduce below.

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

Install node version 12 locally, but have firebase functions set to node v10 Install emulators (all of them) into existing firebase project Launch emulators (will probably get error regarding too old admin version (look for message about node version locally doesn’t match global or something like that). Downgrade node to 10.22 Update tools, functions and admin to latest. Try to re-run firebase emulators init

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

I should be able to get a URL to launch the emulator suite.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Please see the following log output:

@samtstern that’s really weird. I ran an update on firebase-admin several times and had 9.1 installed. Not sure why it was showing 8.6. I just ran it again and this time it launched. Thanks for the help. Not sure what happened.

Just a little update. I can launch the firestore emulator if I specify the --only flag. It seems it’s just the functions emulator that refuses to start.
