[BUG] firebase-tools@13 (latest) now requires Node 18 or Node 20 about action-hosting-deploy HOT 5 OPEN

configure this option: https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/action-hosting-deploy#firebasetoolsversion-string

In my case, GitHub Actions workflow works with version 12.9.1 of Firebase Tools for node 16.

from action-hosting-deploy.

Try this in your .yml file to manually select Node 20:

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4  # https://github.com/actions/checkout
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4  # https://github.com/actions/setup-node
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - ...

from action-hosting-deploy.

I can confirm the same issue here, deployment were still working yesterday and today it fails with same error.

Until yesterday, the same CI

So purely based on the log, it looks like it's the firebase-tools update 12.9.1 -> 13.0.0 which cause some issues with this github-action still using node16.

I guess two methods:

• the easier would be to upgrade this action to node 18 or 20
• the other would be to pin dependencies major version (for the moment to [email protected]), to not run into these kind of issues when dependencies updates with breaking changes. The current npx firebase-tools@latest doesn't look like a good idea

I am totally new to firebase, I created a very simple project in vue2, then i followed the instructions on the main site to add firebase with npm install firebase and I got this similar message.
I'm using windows 10 and node 20.10.0.

May you please help me, suggesting - if available - the simplest steps to make it work? I can't believe firebase is unusable with vue2.

@tiec7 Please don't hijack existing issues with unrelated questions. This question is even not related to this repo, as this repo is for the GitHub action to deploy to Firebase.
