FirebaseCommandException: An error occured on the Firebase CLI when attempting to run a command

Flutterfire just added a CLI for us to use, but I'm having a problem with the flutterfire configure command. I keep getting this error:

i Found 0 Firebase projects. Selecting project liveasy-1. FirebaseCommandException: An error occured on the Firebase CLI when attempting to run a command. COMMAND: firebase --version ERROR: The FlutterFire CLI currently requires the official Firebase CLI to also be installed, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#install_the_firebase_cli for how to install it.

Even though I've installed the Firebase CLI and can run firebase --version without any issues. I installed the standalone binary and when that didn't work I installed it with npm as well. I can log in and see my projects list, but running flutterfire configure seems to be an issue. I can't also access any Firebase commands in Visual Studio Code.

Am I supposed to add something to the PATH in environmental variables? I've already added the cache/bin/ where flutterfire resides, but I don't know how to do the same for Firebase.

Posting on 12 September 2024. When I have faced the exact same issue. Following instruction worked for me.Here is how I solved it.(android,ios) 1 -> package{your app} -> android -> app -> src -> main -> AndroidManifest.xml then here as you see no <manifest

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   "-------no package name----"
>

add the package name manually .Where to get it? android -> app -> build.gradle

android {
    namespace = "com.example.{your-app-name}"
    compileSdk = flutter.compileSdkVersion
    ndkVersion = flutter.ndkVersion

add this package name. Then come to the terminal re-run everysteps

  1. flutter pub add firebase_core
  2. dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
  3. flutterfire configure.
  4. add the project now

I hope this solution helps you. Happy Coding

I encountered the same issue, and after trying the suggested solutions (which didn’t work for me as my Firebase session was fine), I found that there might be two potential problems causing this error:

  1. Firebase session issue:
    If your session is expired or corrupted, try logging out and logging back in by running:

    firebase logout
firebase login

  2. Node.js version: Sometimes the problem may be related to the version of Node.js you're using. For instance, my environment defaulted to Node 16, which caused issues. I had to switch to Node 18 using nvm.:

nvm use 18

Make sure you're using the correct version of Node.js that's compatible with Firebase.

ALL THE ABOVE STEPS DID NOT WORK? look: I have this kind of problem when trying to register my app to firebase many times:

FirebaseCommandException: An error occured on the Firebase CLI when attempting to run a command.
COMMAND: firebase apps:create android ########(android) --package-name=############# --json --project=############ 
ERROR: Failed to create Android app for project ##############. See firebase-debug.log for more info.

let me tell you how this happen to me, I tried to delete my current project (android studio project NOT FIREBASE PROJECT) and create a newer one so the errors gone, but still doesn't work, I go to firebase and try to delete connected projects from their too so I can connect the new project on the same firebase project but it wouldn't work too. I realize that when You delete a connected project from firebase you should remove it from pending deletion too, because if you delete the connected projects twice or more in less than one month they will be still their and affect the new project connections. so to delete the pending deleted connected projects from firebase do the following:

1 .go to the firebase project on their website FIREBASE CONSOLE

  1. click the settings icon next to project view top left the screen and select project settings
  2. scroll down and you will see the pending connected projects, click on the 3 dots next to each one and delete them all.
  3. back to your project and try to reconnect it to the firebase.

thank me later, I'm really tired of this problem :).

I was facing the same issue and nothing was working. I was trying to create a new project from the cli but it was always failing.

Solution: Make a project manually in Firebase Console instead. Then run the command flutterfire configure and you will be able to see the project. Select it and go through the process to complete the setup.

  • Try with different project id

FYI: None of that one does the job

In FLUTTER [March 2024].

I added Firebase with the command 'flutterfire configure --project=PROJECT`, Then I scheduled the Android app in Firebase to delete which was preventing me from rerunning this command till I restored the app, and the command worked smoothly.

You can check your deletion scheduled apps under: Firebase console > Project settings > Your apps > pending deletion apps (LEFT PANE) click the app whose package you want to use and restore.

Firebase CLI v13.3.0 is incompatible with Node.js v16.20.0 Please upgrade Node.js to version >=18.0.0 || >=20.0.0

In my case I just had to use higher node.js version.

nvm use 18

was solved the issue for me.

In order to resolve this issue you need to make sure that first download Firebase CLI binary for Windows (not standalone cli).

enter image description here

enter image description here

Now copy that firebase-tools-instant-win file into your project folder. And rename it to firebase.

Now open that firebase-tools-instant-win in downloads folder and be ready to type command.

  1. cd <path_of_your_project>
  2. firebase login
  3. dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
  4. flutterfire configure

The reason that you were getting error because your firebase-tools-instant-win in downloads folder were unable to find cli named "firebase" so we are putting it by copying it from downloads folder.

What worked for me was to enable scripts to run by setting the PowerShell execution policy as this was preventing me from running scripts.

Open PowerShell as an administrator Run the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

I had exactly same issue

The solution that worked for me:

  1. copy 'firebase-tools-instant-win.exe'. paste into your flutter project file, rename to 'firebase'.
  2. run 'flutterfire configure' on the command line (others had error).

Hope this helps

The only thing that helped me on Windows was just to use Android Studio's built-in terminal.

PowerShell and the Firebase EXE file both throw different errors and wouldn't work.

I also used all the solutions mentioned here and there without any luck.

I tried to use the binary file from the official CLI website which is firebase-tool-instant-win.exe and naming it firebase.exe.

And then putting it in the Flutter project file that I am working on. It seems to do the trick.

It's fixed with me just by running the command:

"firebase login --reauth"

If your (Firebase debug log) contains a 401 error, then it just needs to be reauthorized.

To make sure that the this is the problem, run:

firebase projects:list and it will give you an error! then the solution is to reauthorize by the command above.

See: How do I solve: Error: Failed to list Firebase projects. See firebase-debug.log for more info

I had the same problem.

In my case, it was the Node.js version. Try to do: firebase --version and if you have this message:

Firebase CLI v11.17.0 is incompatible with Node.js v12.14.0 Please upgrade Node.js to version ^14.18.0 || >=16.4.0

Just upgrade your Node.js version.

The binary file didn't work for me either. But I found another way that worked for me.

  1. Go to the project's root.
  2. Open the Command prompt.
  3. Run npm install -g firebase-tools. (Make sure Node.js is installed)
  4. There may be a couple of WARN deprecations, but never mind.
  5. Then run flutterfire configure
  6. You will be asked to select the project and the mobile versions you are willing to build.
  7. Then make sure that a file was generated in 'lib\firebase_options.dart'

See the link for the image

For a Mac, run flutterfire configure as a superuser, hence run sudo flutterfire configure in the terminal without quotes.

The Problem:

Flutter Cli needs two CLI supports (FlutterFire and Firebase), but here only FlutterFire is installed and added to your environment configuration. Firebase also needs Firebase cli.

The Solution:

The solution is to add C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm. This path in your environment configuration, and then restart your cmd, PowerShell, or Visual Studio Code.

By this, you will let your system know that here is an executable file, which should run globally on your machine.

In case you run into another problem, especially this 👇

After Ventosus' answer, check this GitHub issue out. It helped me solve this issue.

Download the standalone binary for the CLI for Windows. It will download an executable, firebase-tools-instant-win.exe.

Copy it into your preferred location

The important part is to enter the path where the executable resides in the Environment variables:

Environment variables → System variables → Path → New → Enter the path

Launch the file and enter the necessary commands.

firebase login

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

cd [your project directory]
flutterfire configure
