Cannot deploy functions using firebase-admin and ADC via firebase-tools

See original GitHub issue

I tried to upgrade Node v8 to v10. But, it occurred these errors and failed to deploy via firebase-tools version 3.8.0.

Function failed on loading user code. Error message: Warning, FIREBASE_CONFIG environment variable is missing. Initializing firebase-admin will fail
Provided module can't be loaded.
Is there a syntax error in your code?

Could not load the function, shutting down.

I re-tried with setting FIREBASE_CONFIG, but the result did not change, and the same error was output. Here is my initialization code.

import * as admin from 'firebase-admin'
admin.initializeApp()

Hi @iwata thanks for the report! This is a known bug - we have a fix submitted and it should hopefully roll out next week. The reason this is happening is because Node 10 runtime was not pulling in hidden files like .runtimeconfig.json which the Firebase SDKs need to automatically set env variables like FIREBASE_CONFIG. I’d like to point out, however, that you still need to deploy with Firebase CLI in order to have that config set - otherwise you will need to initialize admin with the needed parameters (see these docs for more info).

This issue is explained in more detail in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/issues/433 and https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/issues/432.
