npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

[X-Titouan]

Hey mate,

I tryed to deloy a function with a local dependency since a week now, i'm going CRAZY !

Your package since to be nice but when I do firelink deploy, I get this error:

npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/XXXX/.npm/_logs/2021-09-21T12_02_49_871Z-debug.log
true

Is there something you know how to fix ?

Here is my package.json :

{
  "name": "api",
  "main": "build/index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc",
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "14"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "core": "file:../core",
    ...
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "fireDependencies": {
    "core": "../core"
  },
  "private": true,
  "fireConfig": {
    "runner": "./"
  }
}

Here is my repo:

And core is here :

• packages
  • api_firelink
  • core

Can you explain me what exactly does your firelink deploy ?

Save me, my brain is melting please

hahahahahahahaha @X-Titouan

Happy to help you mate! :D

First of all i can see that you have specified runner property inside package.json and i see that you provide a runner ./ so i assume this is what causes the issue.

Remove fireConfig or put firebase or gcloud in the runner property.

The main idea behind firelink is simple

1. You have a local npm packages or private packages that you want to deploy
2. To deploy it as a lambda you have 2 options either you need to bundle it as single js file or you can work with node_modules folder without bundle them
3. Firelink relies on the existing feature of npm to install packages locally just like you install them from npm registry
4. So before deploying the application it will copy packages in temporary folder and then it will install them as an npm packages inside the bundle.
5. So when you try to execute firebase deploy you need to predefine the packages so they can be installable and it is a repetative job to redefine package.json every time you want to deploy something. Firelink makes it possible by wrapping command firebase so when you execute firelink deploy it will make everything for you

Since i am working at the moment i will be happy to help you on share screen later and to help you with your use case how is this sounds to you ?

I am closing this issue since it was not related to the firelink itself and more to the way that the actual project was setup.

Please feel free @X-Titouan to open another ticket if you have a problem :))
