firebase-tools: [functions.config()] is EMPTY when running [firebase serve] or [firebase deploy] (using Node.js v10 function environment)
Related issues
I know some people have complained about this in the past but I can’t seem to get this working.
[REQUIRED] Version info
node: v10.15.0
firebase-functions: ^3.0.0
firebase-tools:
firebase: 7.3.2
firebase-admin: ^8.0.0
[REQUIRED] Test case
running firebase serve fails to read functions.config()
[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce
I’ve tried:
- firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json (creates the .json file with my expected config values)
- firebase functions:config:get | ac .runtimeconfig.json (creates the .json with NO config values, just empty .json) - so i have to manually set the file in this case
- I’ve tried putting the .runtimeconfig.json in the functions folder
- I’ve tried putting the .runtimeconfig.json in the src folder
- I’ve tried putting the .runtimeconfig.json in the src & the functions folder
[REQUIRED] Expected behavior
Running firebase serve should read functions.config()
[REQUIRED] Actual behavior
functions.config() seems to always be empty
This is the location that the code should read functions.config() values
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘secret’ of undefined at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Development\stripe\functions\lib\config.js:13:49) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:689:30) at Object.Module._extensions…js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:700:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:599:32) at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:538:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:530:3) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:637:17) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:22:18) at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Development\stripe\functions\lib\source.js:5:18) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:689:30)
Were you able to successfully deploy your functions?
No… running firebase deploy --only functions gives me the exact same error. If I replace functions.config().myValue with the actual value, both firebase serve and firebase deploy work - but this isn’t the intended behavior… I don’t want my secret key value exposed in the code

Hmmm yeah I am seeing this too but interestingly I can fix it like this:
So I think there may be something going wrong in
firebase-functions, but I will keep investigating.In my case
firebase functions:config:get | ac .runtimeconfig.jsondoes generate a .runtimeconfig.json filled with all properties but still, theservedoesn’t load them.This only happens in Windows 10.
Edit: looks like the first time I used
firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.jsonand the invisible characters remained there even though I later used theaccommand. Solution was to remove the file and create it again.after few search, the issue is related here with a hack to fix 😉

I have 7.16.1 and I still have the problem on MacOS. firebase serve --only functions ----> gives undefined value in local firebase deploy --only functions ----> works in prod
Same here !
@leandro-manifesto we do not automatically download runtime configuration from prod, but you can do it yourself if you want to:
@liezl200 @LeoLetourneur if this is happening to you please open a new issue, this works in our testing so you’re likely running into something new.
Make sure you have a
.runtimeconfig.jsonfile inside yourfunctionsfolder!Are you sure you need to use the serve method and not the shell command ?
