Solved by updating node to v16.15.0 LTS (was 16.something before).
I'll keep this open, because firebase didn't say this as minimum requirement.

I'm still seeing this error even though I'm on node v16.15.0 LTS. Any other changes that you made @readyiman ?

[readyiman]

@timstoute I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything else. Just download node from it site then just install it. Maybe, just maybe, had you try npm audit fix on your firebase folder? (honestly, I'm still wondering why for every firebase npm install always has vulnerabilities and need this audit fix thing).

Our minimum node requirement is in our package.json (which should be enforced by the CLI as well), but this made me realize that >=14.17.0 isn't quite enough, >=16.4.0 should be there to make sure setDefaultResultOrder is included in node 16 installations (even though 16.4 is fairly old.

I'd ask @readyiman - how had you installed the CLI and node? I don't have a good windows flow myself, so it's hard for me to test and verify fixes sometimes. :)

Just casual one. I install node directly from it site https://nodejs.org/en/, And I install CLI from npm npm install -g firebase-tools usually from vscode terminal (cmd) just like in doc https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#windows-npm (btw it actually written minimum CLI is v14.18.0).

This works for me.

Hello.

Same issue here. In my case, Firebase on CloudShell:

user@cloudshell:~$ firebase
/usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v16.1.0/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools/lib/emulator/portUtils.js:9
dns.setDefaultResultOrder("ipv4first");
    ^

As said before, looks solved upgrading node.js (I've upgraded to v16.15.0).

[Exac]

$ node -v
v14.15.0
$ nvm use 14.18
Now using node v14.18.2 (npm v6.14.15)
$ npm run deploy

I found I had to increase my Node version from 14.15.0 to to 14.18.2, not 16.

This works for me on mac m1!
