Error: Hosting target (project-name) not detected in firebase.json #2731

pflevy · 2020-10-21T23:52:41Z

[REQUIRED] Environment info

**firebase-tools:**v8.13.1

**Platform:**macOS

[REQUIRED] Test case

firebase deploy --only hosting:(project-name)

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

I'm using the following Github action: https://github.com/w9jds/firebase-action/ which uses the latest release of firebase-tools.
Since the last update, it's not working anymore. I had to manually set to an older version of firebase-tools (I went for v8.12.1, I haven't tried with v8.13.0)

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

Successful deploy

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Deploy error
Error: Hosting target (project-name) not detected in firebase.json

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

bkendall · 2020-10-22T00:25:02Z

I am able to replicate this with firebase deploy --only hosting:<project>. Taking a look...

bkendall · 2020-10-22T00:49:50Z

Question for you @pflevy -

on v8.12.1, I actually cannot directly do firebase deploy --only hosting:<project-name>. The --only hosting:<target> syntax is actually for deploying to Hosting targets in a multi-site setup. More information on that: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/multisites#cli-commands-with-deploy-targets

Do you have those targets set up and are you using the correct name? I can poke around a bit more, but specifically doing --only hosting:<SITE-name> (which may be the same as the project name) is not supported.

Same issue here with 8.13~

I've had this same problem start happening from last night.
I use the following in my CI pipeline:

firerbase use PROJECTNAME --token $FIREBASE_TOKEN
firebase deploy --only hosting:SITE

I now get the error:

Hosting target SITE not detected in firebase.json

Nothing else has changed on this project or CI defintion for months

vin-fandemand · 2020-10-22T12:43:38Z

Same here... since two days
I am using deploy -P <PROJECT> --only hosting:<SITE NAME>

AnaWhibley · 2020-10-22T14:02:18Z

Same here. I've always used firebase deploy --only hosting:<name>

pflevy · 2020-10-22T14:32:14Z

Question for you @pflevy -

on v8.12.1, I actually cannot directly do firebase deploy --only hosting:<project-name>. The --only hosting:<target> syntax is actually for deploying to Hosting targets in a multi-site setup. More information on that: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/multisites#cli-commands-with-deploy-targets

Do you have those targets set up and are you using the correct name? I can poke around a bit more, but specifically doing --only hosting:<SITE-name> (which may be the same as the project name) is not supported.

In this specific case, I only use one site and I don't have the target set up on firebase.json. I actually tried adding it as
target: <project-name> but it didn't work.

Also, I do have another project where I rely on the same action and make use of two sites. But I also don't have the 'target' set on firebase.json and only pass it as a flag deploy --only hosting:<SITE-name>, which has always worked fine.

From what you just said I assume the correct approach would be to use firebase deploy --only hosting for when there's a single site, and for multiple sites, it's required to define the targets in firebase.json before running deploy --only hosting:<SITE-name>. I wonder what could've gone wrong then since it also didn't work by adding target: <project-name> under "hosting".

stanleygomes · 2020-10-22T15:51:40Z

Worked for me, this way (specific firebase-tools version 8.12):

npm install -g firebase-tools@8.12

Then:

firebase deploy -f --project my-project-name --only hosting:my-project-name

bkendall · 2020-10-22T15:53:30Z

Ack. Thanks everyone for the insights. If we regressed this behavior, makes sense to me that we should restore it. I'll look into it this morning.

Angel-Q87 · 2020-10-22T15:57:51Z

I was presented with the same problem and using an older version of firebase-tools solved the problem. Thanks for your comments. Greetings.

MichaelDCooper · 2020-10-22T19:06:09Z

@bkendall How should hosting be specified until a fix is up?

comeacross1989 · 2020-10-23T02:44:32Z

Having same issue on local windows machine. I was on an older version of firebase-tools (probably 7... something) then upgraded and that didn't fix the issue. Then installed version 8.12, added the "site" property to my firebase.json file and then deployed as usual with "firebase deploy --only hosting:SITENAME"

ThaDeveloper · 2020-10-23T07:20:13Z

npm install -g firebase-tools@8.12
Then:
firebase deploy --only hosting:project-name
works for me

matheuscouto · 2020-10-23T10:54:48Z

npm install -g firebase-tools@8.12
firebase deploy --only hosting:project-name

works for me as well

medin-n · 2020-10-23T22:35:11Z

I get the same issue with no changes to firebase config

mark-gene · 2020-10-26T11:47:58Z

I also get the same issue with the latest version of firebase when installed using curl -sL https://firebase.tools | bash

Using firebase-tools@8.12 fixed the issue for me as well.

bkendall · 2020-10-26T17:01:00Z

This will go out in the next release of firebase tools. Thanks for your patience.

Teepath · 2020-10-26T17:41:43Z

Having the same issue...

alkeicam · 2020-10-26T18:26:26Z

Same problem since 3 days using :
firebase -P PROJ_NAME deploy -m "MESSAGE" --only hosting:SITE_NAME
results in

Error: Hosting target SITE_NAME not detected in firebase.json

alkeicam · 2020-10-26T18:35:19Z

@bkendall How should hosting be specified until a fix is up?

Follow https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/multisites#set_up_deploy_targets

TL;DR

add target id to .firebaserc firebase target:apply hosting blog myapp-blog
add target entry to your firebase.json
deploy

it solved the problem for me with multiple sites in one hosting project

bkendall · 2020-10-26T23:15:55Z

This should be fixed in v8.14.0. Thanks for y'alls patience.

RoCampos · 2020-10-31T03:46:44Z

I had the same problem: Hosting target (project-name) not detected in firebase.json

I looked at .firabaserc and get the target name

targets": { "XXXXX": { "hosting": { "Teste": [ "XXXXX" ] } }

Then, I ran firebase deploy --only hosting:XXXXX and it worked.

sonicwim-zz · 2020-12-09T19:19:03Z

I tried the Angular tutorial from https://angular.io/start and then tried to deploy it from my local copy to Firebase but I also needed to specify the target as @RoCampos said.

And I'm using version 8.18.0, any idea why this is still happening?

bkendall · 2020-12-09T22:33:10Z

@SonicWim if you could open a new issue with more details, that would be super helpful. Please include all the relevant parts of firebase.json and --debug output.

sonicwim-zz · 2020-12-09T23:23:52Z

I will do that.
But as I'm filing it I can't seem to make it work again, ng deploy still fails but firebase deploy --debug works... :-/
When I surf to the Hosting URL I get a message that the hosting is complete and only a button to open the documentation but no running project.

I'll see if I can reproduce the error tomorrow.

sonicwim-zz · 2021-02-03T15:24:14Z

As I'm a noob on Github I could not find back this thread after posting my message so I could also not let you know that my problem is solved, it was a because I misinterpreted an instruction (about the default project name) off the tutorial.

Tips on navigating to your posts would be appreciated... ;-)

And I only found this page back because I got a mail today of someone saying happy new year but this seems to be removed already.

medin-n · 2021-02-03T15:33:41Z

Yeah the Happy new year message confused me a lot

sonicwim-zz · 2021-02-03T21:24:54Z

Is there a way, @usamedin, to see your forum activity? I can't seem to find it...

medin-n · 2021-02-03T22:34:55Z

@SonicWim try https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions, when you comment on a thread you are auto-subscribed to it

sonicwim-zz · 2021-02-04T14:50:07Z

Thanks for the tip man! I only got notifications about new posts by mail and that's fine but here I wanted to reply back to say that my problem was not really a problem at all but a PEBKAC but I could not find the issue thread any more... 😄

maurocolella · 2021-05-28T06:11:44Z

Has this ever been fixed?

lericslh · 2021-06-17T23:45:34Z

only open the directory and open firebase.json

and add "site": "site-name"

below the second line "hosting"

dnishiyama · 2021-08-06T18:06:47Z

I ended up here because I hadn't followed the full procedure for setting up multi-site hosting. This url had all the info I needed: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/multisites

I needed to run firebase hosting:sites:create SITE_ID
Then firebase target:apply hosting TARGET_NAME SITE_ID
Then I had to modify firebase.json for multi-site hosting as suggested in Step 4: "hosting": [ { "target": {TARGET_NAME}, // "blog" is the applied TARGET_NAME for the Hosting site "myapp-blog" "public": "blog/dist",
Hope that helps someone

see firebase/firebase-tools#2731

AndyKgotatso · 2023-11-12T18:39:31Z

Found it!

Follow steps here - https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/targets

Make sure you DON'T remove "etags": {} from the .firebaserc file

Nano1408 · 2024-04-28T06:21:21Z

Ami me funciono cerrando sesión con el comando "firebase logout" y volver a iniciar sesión con "firebase login", esto refresca los CLI de recopilación de información, después le hice el despliegue normal sin generar el error "Error: Cannot deploy a web framework from source because the experiment webframeworks is not enabled. To enable webframeworks run firebase experiments:enable webframeworks".

Comparto pasos para los que le funcione:
Paso 1: Cerrar sesión "firebase logout"
paso 2: iniciar sesión "firebase login" -> esto refresca los CLI y Emulator Suite para los permisos en tu cuenta firebase
paso 3: desplegar cambios "firebase deploy"
