After deploy Cloud Functions error: Could not refresh access token.

Question

I\'ve been experimenting for a while with Firebase Cloud Functions, today I made a minor change to my index.json file (added a field to a document to be set), after deploying on

Answer 1

Thanks everyone for the reports, both here and especially also via our tech support channels - these really help.

We believe the issue to have been caused by a problem deep in our Node.js dependency chain, in particular for users of Firestore. We've just released https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-gax 0.14.5 to address the issue. Please:

• Either wait for the npm caches to pick up the new version, or explicitly request google-gax 0.14.5 in your package.json.
• Re-deploy your functions.

That should resolve things. If you're still having trouble, please let us know!

Answer 2

Our current suspicion is that a very nested dependency had a breaking change that didn't follow semver. We're investigating and hope to have a fix soon. When this fix rolls out, you'll only have to redeploy.
