How do I solve: Error: Failed to list Firebase projects. See firebase-debug.log for more info
FirebaseFirebase ToolsFirebase Problem Overview
So I'm minding my own business trying to initializing a Firebase project in my Angular app when all of the sudden I'm hit with this error:
Error: Failed to list Firebase projects. See firebase-debug.log for more info.
To get to that point, I followed the instructions in the documentation here which are basically run:
$ npm install -g firebase-tools
$ firebase login // Turns out I was already logged in
$ firebase projects:list // Make sure you can access your account.
Anyway, back to the error. "Ok," I think. "I'll just check out the log it's pointing me to." I open the log and see:
HTTP Error: 401, 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.`
`FirebaseError: HTTP Error: 401, 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.`
The part about "invalid authentication credentials" makes me think it has something to do with me not being logged into firebase but firebase login
shows I am logged in.
The URL in the log just takes me to the docs for using firebase auth in my app. Well, I would love to. But first I need this command to work, Firebase.
Has anyone run into this/have a solution for it?
Firebase Solutions
Solution 1 - Firebase
Update
The fix is:
$ firebase login --reauth
Thanks to @kynan in the comments for simplifying the original two-liner down to this one-liner.
If that doesn't work, you can also try logging out and logging back in like the original answer.
Original Answer
The fix is:
$ firebase logout
$ firebase login
It looks like when you upgrade firebase-tools, that may invalidate your auth token. You just have to log out and log back in.
Here's the message when you log out:
$ firebase logout
! Invalid refresh token, did not need to deauthorize
+ Logged out from <email>
Solution 2 - Firebase
For people who don't want to logout, the below command will also work.
> firebase login --reauth
Solution 3 - Firebase
use firebase logout
to log out
then use firebase login
to log back in to firebase in the CLI
Do this after updating the firebase tools using npm install -g firebase-tools
After succesfull login, use firebase use --add
to list all the projects you have
Solution 4 - Firebase
In my case that it couldn't list my firebase projects, I try to access firebase by vpn that I was installed on my system (not my browser), and it worked. Then I could initial firebase in my project as hosting and deploy it.

firebase login --reauth
