• This is because, firebase-functions has an explicit peer dependency on previous version of firebase-admin:
  • https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/blob/cd88163f687a83d541c6a4391c3cf96b81960b2e/package.json#L322

Steps to reproduce:

• Add dependency on the latest firebase-admin and firebase-functions
• Run npm install

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

From what I can tell, this happened with the 12.0.0 release too:

• upgrade to firebase-admin v12.0.0 not resolved dependency #2423.

Looks like some sort of workflows need to be instituted by the Firebase team, so that you release both these packages (and related dependencies) together.

Otherwise, upgrades such as dependabot workflows, or someone starting out right now, will run into this problem.

This was fixed in latest patch release!

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/releases/tag/v6.1.1

Sorry for the delay.

@taeold The latest versions of firebase-functions and firebase-admin don't work together

Right, this is not fixed yet, @taeold (thanks @simeon9696):

Using the latest releases:

  "dependencies": {
    // ... more deps... 
    "firebase-admin": "^13.0.1",
    "firebase-functions": "^6.1.1",
  },    
  "devDependencies": {
    // ... more deps... 
    "firebase-functions-test": "^3.3.0",
  },    

This is still failing:

Looks like firebase-functions-test needs to be fixed too.

And perhaps even more importantly, there needs to be a process (or not explicit major version dependency checks in firebase-functions and firebase-functions-test), so that this does not keep happening with every major release (see my comment above: #2772 (comment)).

[Trashpants]

not exactly a fix but a work around until this gets sorted for me was:

"overrides": {
  "firebase-functions-test": {
	  "firebase-admin": "^13.0.0"
  },
  "tough-cookie": "4.1.3"
},

not sure if tough-cookie is needed for everyone but something to do with @types/request had an issue with it for me too
