Firebase-tools: Cannot understand what targets to deploy error
Version info
6.2.2
Platform Information
OSX
Steps to reproduce
$ firebase init
Select configuration for both functions and hosting. Then typescript and yes to TSLint.
Copy paste below into functions/src/index.ts:
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';
admin.initializeApp();
// Most basic HTTP Funtion
export const basicHTTP = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const name = request.query.name;
if (!name) {
response.status(400).send('ERROR you must supply a name :(');
}
response.send(`hello ${name}`);
});
$ firebase deploy --only functions
Expected behavior
I expect the function to be deployed successfully to the selected firebase project.
Actual behavior
I receive this error: "Cannot understand what targets to deploy. Check that you specified valid targets if you used the --only or --except flag. Otherwise, check your firebase.json to ensure that your project is initialized for the desired features."

I got around that but now I receive this when I try to deploy:

Could this have something to do with TSLint?

I added
"files": [
"node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts"
],
"exclude": [
"node_modules"
]
to my tsconfig file in functions and that seemed to do the trick. Let me know if thats okay.

I don't see why that would be a problem. Glad you were able to solve it.
