Error: Cannot find module 'firebase-admin'

[Bill Tricarico]

Hello,

So I have new Firebase/Firestore project for Cloud Functions, and I have my index.js setting up for firebase-functions and firebase-admin like so:

const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const admin = require("firebase-admin").initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);

My package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "functions",
  "description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase",
  "dependencies": {
    "firebase-admin": "~5.4.2",
    "firebase-functions": "^0.7.1"
  },
  "private": true
}

I have done this before in other projects with no problems. Now when I try to "firebase deploy" the project, 
I get this error over and over:

Deploy Error: Function load error: Code in file index.js can't be loaded.

Did you list all required modules in the package.json dependencies?

Detailed stack trace: Error: Cannot find module 'firebase-admin'

Yes I see that it was not me.  It was the Google. :/

I am having the same issue.

It seems to be on Google's end. Here's a work around they released: https://status.firebase.google.com/incident/Functions/17024

However, the workaround is not working for me. I might be missing something simple though. I'm guessing they'll have everything working again in the morning.

Good luck!

Nothing wrong with your code, it is an error on Firebase cloud functions, see this link for a fix:
