Firebase hosting deployment failing

Question

Running firebase deploy will run for a few minutes before giving me a timeout error Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

I've successfully deployed multiple times earlier, without changing anything but the frontend of my project (written in React).

I have a separate folder with my cloud functions, which deploy perfectly with firebase deploy --only functions

I've tried regular deployment with firebase deploy as well as with --except functions flag but with no luck.

Also tried updating npm and firebase-tools

running firebase deploy --debug yields the following error after a few minutes:

Answer 1

Delete the hidden folder in you project root directory.

.firebase/hosting.*.cache

Answer 2

Deleting the .firebase folder and tried firebase deploy command again. Things seemed to be working fine.

Answer 3

As @thmsdnnr mentioned, it seems that this error was caused by issues at firebase. Tried a new deployment first thing in the morning and everything went through first try.

Answer 4

as explained already by @thmsdnnr, it is indeed a firebase issue, but can be due to some issues at your end as well. For example, for me it was the slow internet connection responsible for it.

Besides, you can always delete the ".firebase" folder, and re-build your project for starting afresh with hosting.

Answer 5

I also faced an issue like that

Error: Task 91525507ddf6d644ed40f9c46c3e30a2164f496acb1328512d4cf5eaf8d18768 failed: retries exhausted after 6 attempts
PS D:\React\amazon-clone> firebase deploy

But I fixed it. Put this change in your firebase.json file:

{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "build",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ],
    "rewrites": [
      {
        "source": "**",
        "destination": "/index.html"
      }
    ]
  }
}

to

{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "public",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ],
    "rewrites": [
      {
        "source": "**",
        "destination": "/index.html"
      }
    ]
  }
}

and it will work fine.

Answer 6

There are two reasons to happen this.

1. by deleting .firebase folder in your root folder will solve problem. if this dosen't work,
2. your internet connection may slow and size of files in your project may be bigger. so try with fast internet connection.

with slow internet, if you try deploying again and again, you will see that number of files uploading decreases on console. that means your files are getting uploaded, but it taking too much time, and firebase is getting exhausted.
