I can deploy my friebase app (https://github.com/Luuuuuis/profile-page) using firebase deploy in my local command line, but when I push it it keep failing -> No code error.

This is my GitHub Action: https://github.com/Luuuuuis/profile-page/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml and it fails when trying to build. https://github.com/Luuuuuis/profile-page/runs/792416930?check_suite_focus=true

This is the error I get:

It already worked yesterday, but when I tried it today multiple times it didn't work. Is something wrong with my action?

I'm having the exact same problem, it was fine yesterday, now it's not. Looking forward to seeing an answer there... - Luke W. Johnston
It seems to be some issue with the permissions on the container that firebase-action is using. Someone has already reported this issue on their Github page. - Pawan
oh ok so it their fault. Ok then I'll have to wait - Luis
More users seems impacted @see github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/2383 and github.com/w9jds/firebase-action/issues/46 - David DIVERRES

try using the --unsafe-perm flag or configure an env variable: NPM_CONFIG_USER root

EACCES: permission denied

You should try execute it with sudo

This is more for others coming to see this question, maybe for related, but not exact problems. For the specific original problem, the issues seems to be a firebase issue. But, if like me, you had a similar problem with permissions (as pointed out in phyyyl's answer), this is how I fixed it.

To bypass the permissions, I used the explanation found in the npm docs. So install without the -g flag and use npx, which recognizes that the installed program was not installed globally. I use netlify, so not sure what the equivalent firebase would be. But I hope this helps.

deploy:
    image: node:latest
    stage: deploy
    before_script:
        - npm install netlify-cli
    script:
        - npx netlify deploy --dir public
