Error: Failed to get Firebase project project-name. Please make sure the project exists and your account has permission to access it

Firebase Problem Overview

I tried running firebase deploy like I have always done but came across this Error:

> Error: Failed to get Firebase project project-name. Please make sure the project exists and your account has permission to access it.

I have run firebase login and I get 'Already logged in as [email protected]'

The firebase-debug.log file shows a few 401 http responses and some of them have the following text:

> 'Request had invalid authentication credentials' and also 'invalid token'

How can this be solved?

Firebase Solutions

Solution 1 - Firebase

For me this worked,

firebase logout

firebase login

Solution 2 - Firebase

This worked for me:

Run > firebase use --add

And re-select the project

Solution 3 - Firebase

Simply

use firebase login --reauth

Solution 4 - Firebase

sometimes there is a token error you can check debug.log

Error Message in debug.log : [debug] [2020-10-13T23:01:28.050Z] <<< HTTP RESPONSE BODY {"error":{"code":401,"message":"Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.","status":"UNAUTHENTICATED"}}

Solution of error use

firebase login --reauth

and again firebase init for reinitializing the project select project and

firebase deploy

Solution 5 - Firebase

Try logging out of firebase CLI and then log back in with the account that has the project that you are trying to run.

This was the case with me. I was logged in to another firebase account.

Steps:

```
`firebase logout`
```
```
`firebase login`
```

Solution 6 - Firebase

Disconnecting the company's VPN and trying it again worked for me.

Solution 7 - Firebase

Any typo inside the .firebaserc would show this error. For me I had an extra comma, removing it solved the error.

Solution 8 - Firebase

If none of the other answers worked for you, I had the same problem and received this solution from Firebase Support. (ty Sergei)

My system will occasionally create and Environment Variable named FIREBASE_TOKEN. The token will expire, but the variable does not. Restarts and logout/login cycles did nothing. Deleting the variable works every time though.

Remove-Item Env:\FIREBASE_TOKEN

Solution 9 - Firebase

if you use Mac or Linux, you can write this command export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087 to make sure your terminal uses the proxy, which is useful for me.

Solution 10 - Firebase

None of the above solutions worked for me but removing/editing the stored value of the default project in $HOME/.config/configstore/firebase-tools.json did work.

Solution 11 - Firebase

It's really awesome and confusing------>

just did these command ->

> firebase logout
> 
> firebase login

Solution 12 - Firebase

If you have this issue in a CI pipeline, you can regenerate a token on your local machine with

firebase login:ci

Put the generated token as an environment variable, e.g. FIREBASE_TOKEN and run like this:

firebase deploy --token "$FIREBASE_TOKEN"

Solution 13 - Firebase

Run

firebase use --add
