Firebase CLI: No project is currently active
I'm following this Firebase intro tutorial:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-web/
I follow the instructions and when I get to step 3, I run firebase use --add and I get the following:
# firebase use --add
> [email protected] firebase ~/repos/friendlychat/web-start
> firebase "use"
No project is currently active.
Run firebase use --add to define a new project alias.
But if I run firebase list I see this:
┌──────────────┬───────────────────────┬─────────────┐
│ Name │ Project ID / Instance │ Permissions │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│ FriendlyChat │ friendlychat-x3sd0 │ Owner │
└──────────────┴───────────────────────┴─────────────┘
So I am clearly logged in correctly as I can list my projects and have some sort of access to them on the CLI. But does the error mean it's not active? How do I activate it? There is nothing in the tutorial about this.
What am I missing here? Seems like it's something obvious that I'm just not seeing.
Answer
I had the same issue and fixed it by running firebase init again.
The file that was missing was the .firebaserc.
The content of this file
{
"projects": {
"default": "yourid"
}
}
hope that helps, Muki
