Firebase-tools: Trying to Deploy first hosting

Created on 10 Oct 2017 · 7Comments · Source: firebase/firebase-tools

Problem with Deployiing hosting I had succesfully initialized and logged in but when I try to deploy the error shows
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 tried
firebase deploy

firebase deploy --only default

firebase deploy --only hosting

And every time I get the same error, I post everything below

Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 6.11.4 (x64) and npm.

You're about to initialize a Firebase project in this directory:

C:\Users\Lenovo

Before we get started, keep in mind:

You are initializing your home directory as a Firebase project
You are initializing in an existing Firebase project directory

? Are you ready to proceed? Yes
? Which Firebase CLI features do you want to setup for this folder? Press Space
to select features, then Enter to confirm your choices.
! You have have not selected any features. Continuing will simply associate this folder with a Firebase project. Press Ctrl + C if you want to start over.

=== Project Setup

First, let's associate this project directory with a Firebase project.
You can create multiple project aliases by running firebase use --add,
but for now we'll just set up a default project.

i .firebaserc already has a default project, skipping

Firebase initialization complete!

C:\Users\Lenovo>firebase deploy

If it's still needed

It might be looking for your public folder.
Create your project folder. Example: C:\MyProject.
Create another folder called "public" and place all the files into that folder. Example: C:\MyProject\public.

cd into MySite and run "firebase init" from there.

I think I just melted down AWS initializing firebase with all the fixins.

As shown in the log, OP didn't select any features (functions, hosting, etc.) when prompted. The issue should be closed.

(Anyone reading this with the same problem: use arrow keys to move, space-bar to select, then hit enter)

--only default is not a valid flag for firebase deploy. Please read https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/#partial_deploys to understand how to use --only.
