Running command: npm --prefix "%RESOURCE_DIR%" run build

events.js:180
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

}

I have tried, clearing node_modules, npm install, npm update, re-affirming firebase.json predeploy to be windows compatible. manual predeploy, nothing.

was working before update, been working on this project for 2 months and now it doesn’t work

@digimbyte I know this is incredibly frustrating but from what I can see here there’s an issue with your system and this is not a bug in firebase-tools (or if it is, it will not be possible for us to reproduce and debug it).

The error is happening when we try to spawn a subprocess to do npm run build in your Cloud Functions directory as a predeploy step.

You can probably create a super-simple reproduction yourself by writing a short node script that uses Node’s child_process.spawn() to spawn an npm subprocess. Assuming you get the same error, I’d ask on StackOverflow about possible issues with your system/install.

If you don’t get the same error let me know, then we can look deeper into the Firebase CLI.
