Regression: deploy to hosting fails with big files

[LanderBeeuwsaert]

This was already present a year or two ago, but now we have it again consistently.
So we need to call firebase deploy multiple times because each time it uploads a few files and then crashes with the message below:

• cloud.firestore: rules file configs/firestore.rules compiled successfully
  i storage: latest version of configs/storage.rules already up to date, skipping upload...
  i firestore: deploying indexes...
• firestore: deployed indexes in configs/firestore.indexes.json successfully for (default) database
  i firestore: latest version of configs/firestore.rules already up to date, skipping upload...

This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Hi! Few questions:

1. How big of a file are you attempting to upload?
2. And what's the type of the file?
3. Do you generally have a stable internet connection?
4. What version of Node are you using?

Hi @bkendall ,

1. I've just done a search on the files of the dist folder and sorted by file size. Biggest is 30MB

2. It's stuck on multiple files and the process doesn't tell you which file, so I have no clue but my guess would be the bigger ones?

3. Yes, for sure, that's certainly not the issue. I can just continue to work normally while this is going on.

4. it was already like this on node 18, but now that I'm on node v20.10.0 it's also like this.
   Also, I've disabled windows defender on this drive so that shouldn't somehow interfere by taking file lock or something like that.

I'll have to spend some time doing a bit more debugging into this one. I may need to make some changes to the uploader to better show which files are failing. It's frustrating that this is seemingly arbitrary - let me see if I can get some time to look into this soon.

Ran into the same issue here today, on Node 18 with the latest version of firebase-tools.

Task d6611dd57ebae30d5eca1c1137615ca9011bf9cc9c88d14918a1cc692b116 failed: retries exhausted after 6 attempts, with error: TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
--> starting at object with constructor 'TLSSocket'
|        property 'parser' -> object with constructor 'HTTPParser'
--- property 'socket' closes the circle

It goes through and uploads some new files each time, like the total to upload is going down with each run. Let me know if I can provide additional information for troubleshooting this.

That's also happening to me for days, I'm trying to set up another project and it hasn't allowed me, I'm trying with two projects that are already on Firebase hosting and nothing, it keeps giving me the same errors, I updated the latest version of Firebase, Node, I have the same internet, install the latest SDK, reduce the amount of files and I can't find what to do anymore... -->
