I am getting error while deploying google cloud functions. Error - 'Invalid contents in the credentials file'

I am getting error while deploying google cloud function - with firebase (earlier it was working fine but suddenly this error started coming so I deleted the whole folder and did the process again but still not resolved)

index.js 

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const db = admin.firestore();
.
.
.

Console

✔  functions: Finished running predeploy script.
i  functions: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
✔  functions: all necessary APIs are enabled
i  functions: preparing functions directory for uploading...

Error: Error occurred while parsing your function triggers.

Based on what you've explained, and since the error you've received is about lack of credential, I really doubt that it has something to do with the function itself.

I can suggest two thing:

First: Update firebase-admin package,

Second: Set the service account and GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS variable and initialize SDK explicitly following this procedure
