firebase-functions: Engines node 8 not working

I’m having a similar issue except I still get the warning: Warning: You're using Node.js v8.11.1 but Google Cloud Functions only supports v6.11.5.

Also, the final console output reads: ReferenceError: exports is not defined

---

firebase-tools: v5.6.0

package.json:

{
  "name": "functions",
  "description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase",
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint .",
    "serve": "firebase serve --only functions",
    "shell": "firebase functions:shell",
    "start": "npm run shell",
    "deploy": "firebase deploy --only functions",
    "logs": "firebase functions:log"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "firebase-admin": "~5.12.1",
    "firebase-functions": "^1.0.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^4.12.0",
    "eslint-plugin-promise": "^3.6.0"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "8"
  },
  "private": true
}

i don’t like firebase need us to use nodejs v6 and v8.

@jennmueng I started another issue here https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/issues/421 but quickly closed it.

import isn’t supported by any version of node!

Remove that line, and/or just make a really basic function and try deploying it. See if it goes to Functions as a Node 8 function.

see my thread for details on eslintrc.json and make sure the engines setting is 8 in package.json.

But to repeat, sadly, import isn’t available in Node 8.

and some further info after I run firebase serve

i functions: Preparing to emulate functions. Warning: You’re using Node.js v8.9.0 but Google Cloud Functions only supports v6.11.5. ⚠ functions: Failed to load functions source code. Ensure that you have the latest SDK by running npm i --save firebase-functions inside the functions directory. ⚠ functions: Error from emulator. Error occurred while parsing your function triggers.

Node v8.9.0 is what fixed my issue(s)

		nvm install v8.9.0
		nvm alias default v8.9.0

Looks like I’m stuck at the same spot @leads is

I’ve used nvm to use node v8.9.0, have reinstalled both firebase-tools and @google-cloud/functions-emulator with both yarn global and npm -g but I still receive the exact same error, along with the warning Warning: You're using Node.js v8.9.0 but Google Cloud Functions only supports v6.11.5..

I looked at @google-cloud/functions-emulator version 1.0.0-beta.5 and this error message has been removed, so why does it still show?

This has been really frustrating…

@laurenzlong Seems like I did not have the latest CLI.

After running npm install -g firebase-tools and deploying it seems like the functions are runing Node.js 8.

Thanks!
