Hi,

One clarification question: does "npm install" or "npm ci" succeed if run from the functions directory?

Same issue here, npm install and npm ci successfully working locally.

The first thing I'd recommend with an error like that is to delete your package-lock.json file and node_modules folder and do a clean `npm install` locally. If that doesn't help, one guess might be that the Node version you're running locally is different from the version you're deploying with, since the package-lock.json file has had a few different versions over the years (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/package-lock-json#lockfileversion). Could you run `node -v` and `npm -v` and see if it matches the version of Node you're trying to deploy? For example, if you're deploying Node 18 functions, try to npm install with node 18 and its corresponding npm version 10 (list of npm and node versions: https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases).

I hope that solves it! If not, it's probably worth filing a support ticket (https://firebase.google.com/support) for more in-depth troubleshooting.

Best,

Jeff
