firebase deploy --only functions overrides existing functions
FunctionFirebaseFirebase ToolsGoogle Cloud-FunctionsFunction Problem Overview
Running firebase deploy --only functions
deletes the existing functions before creating new ones. Is it possible to modify this behavior to create if not exist, update if exists, no actions if functions not being deployed
?
Function Solutions
Solution 1 - Function
You can use firebase partial deploys
$ firebase deploy --only functions:makeUppercase
Will only deploy makeUppercase
function.
Hope it helps.
Note: To deploy more than one function at once (but not all) use:
$ firebase deploy --only functions:function1,functions:function2
Solution 2 - Function
firebaser here
Running firebase deploy
will deploy all functions in the project. There is currently no option to deploy just new or modified functions.
It does sound like a useful addition though, so you might want to file a feature request.
Update: since version 3.8 of the Firebase tools CLI this is possible. See Pablo's answer or the release notes.
Solution 3 - Function
Make sure you are editing the functions in your "functions/src" directory and not the functions in your 'lib' directory. I made this mistake and watched them get replaced...
