Firebase-tools: Firebase deploy functions for Node 8 fails

[alex-hioperator]

Firebase version: 5.0.1
OS: OSX Mojave

I am migrating my cloud functions from NodeJS 6 to 8. I added "engines": { "node": "8" } to my package.json per https://firebase.googleblog.com/2018/08/cloud-functions-for-firebase-config-node-8-timeout-memory-region.html

The issue is that the functions crash at deploy now. Here is the error output:

Build failed: USER ERROR:

I've gone ahead and updated firebase-functions, firebase-tools, and firebase-admin to the latest versions both at the root of my project and in the functions folder. What am I missing?

[alex-hioperator]

Found a solution--needed to nuke the package-lock.json file that was in the functions folder.

I have tried the same but so far no luck.
Just out of curiosity, did you also add the package-lock.json to your .gcloudignore file?
