`firebase deploy --only <targets>` deploying wrong targets

Hey folks - when I try to deploy my dev environment using firebase deploy --only default, it deploys to my production environment instead. Yikes!

Not sure what’s going on here. I’ve created two firebases, exampleapp-dev and exampleapp-prod.

Here’s what my .firebaserc looks like:

{
  "projects": {
    "default": "exampleapp-dev",
    "prod": "exampleapp-prod"
  }
}

Here’s the output of running firebase deploy --only default:

ken@isaac ~/d/firebase-tools-bug> firebase deploy --only default

=== Deploying to 'exampleapp-prod'...

i  deploying
i  starting release process (may take several minutes)...

✔  Deploy complete!

Dashboard: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/exampleapp-prod/overview

I’m using firebase-tools version 3.0.4 and fish 2.2.0, but works the same in bash.

Any thoughts?

I just ran into the same issue. Thanks @kenhoff for reporting this before me! Yes I agree, could definitely use some more documentation. The CLI doesn’t mention the --project option
