firebase-tools: Can no longer run emulators with --project=dummy

In Version 11.13.0 of firebase-tools (and previous versions), I was able to launch the emulator with firebase emulators:start --import my-backup --inspect-functions --project=dummy

Since upgrading to 11.15.0, I get Error: Deploy target xxx not configured for project dummy. Configure with... (where xxx is a real deployment target).

I don’t want the emulators to start with the same project name as a ‘real’ project (as I was doing previously)…

Looks like I missed somewhere we’re making a prod call - reopening this.

I have created a simple sample project that showcases the issue between two versions of firebase-tools.

Hi Asko,

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried with ‘demo-’. Unfortunately I get the same error message. I have deployment targets for hosting in my .firebaserc file maybe I should add ‘demo-’ there (as the error message suggests), but that feels wrong…

Have you tried demo-dummy?

Somewhere in the documentation, Firebase mentions that any locally used projects should be named demo-{something}. This ensures they are not intertwined with the actual Firebase projects online.
