I'm trying to create a Firebase Function but I'm running into a deploy error, even when deploying the default helloworld function.

The firebase-debug.log file mentions this: Could not find image for function projects/picci-e030e/locations/us-central1/functions/helloWorld.

I have been trying to debug and so far have not been able to solve it...

firebase-debug.log

[info] Functions deploy had errors with the following functions:

Could not find image for function projects/picci-e030e/locations/us-central1/functions/helloWorld.

The Firebase Function deployment failed because it cannot find the image built based on your function app. There might be a problem building in your app, it could be your dependencies or files.

I replicated your issue, received the same error and solved it. There's a problem with the package.json file and package-lock.json. If you just add(without installing) your dependency in package.json you should delete or remove your package-lock.json that will be found in function directory before you deploy it again using the deployment command:

firebase deploy --only functions

or you can just install your dependency to make sure it will be added to your package.json and package-lock.json file, deploy again. For example:

npm install --save blurhash

Thank you! I was installing the dependencies in the main project folder instead of in the functions folder. I noticed that the package.json didn't include the blurhash dependency and added it manually. Obv that didn't work out. I recreated the project from scratch and installed the dependencies in the functions folder and it deployed successfully.
running build with --debug showed this as well. [update-europe-west2-api] Retrying task index 0 I ultimately had to delete the lock file, delete all modules/ and lib/ cachce folders and finally, the project build and deployed. The red herring was i'd narrowed the build failure down to how long a specific file name was. i.e. A.ts would build. AA.ts would fail.
Thank you! Deleting package-lock.json and re-deploying did the trick

My problem was that i did not select the right region when calling functions. Set the region on which you have your project on. In my case:

export const myfunc = functions.region('europe-west1').https...

for others trying to upload cloudfunction with receiving an error. This may solve your error:

Make sure that the node version you are running is equal to the node version you specified in your package.json file.

search for those two sections in your firebase-debug.log

[debug] [2022-02-02T15:57:12.601Z] Node Version:  v16.13.0

and

[debug] [2022-02-02T15:57:17.055Z] > [functions] package.json contents: {
  "name": "functions",
  "description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase",
  "scripts": {
    ...
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "14"
  },

and then go to your firebase/functions/package.json and change the version for the engines/node property

By removing the package-lock.json and node_modules folder and then running npm install has resolved the issue for me.
