Why am I obtaining this error message trying to deploy my Angular application on Firebase? Error: Failed to get Firebase project

Question

I am very new to Firebase and I have the following problem trying to deploy an Angular application on Firebase Storage.

I try to explain my situation in details.

I have two Google account. The first one contains a project and it is my DEV environment. Then I created a second account with a project (having the same name) that will be my PROD environment.

Some times ago I deployed my project on the first DEV environment and I had no problem.

Now I am experiencing some problem trying to deploy it on the second PROD environment.

First of all I performed:

firebase logout

in order to log out from the first DEV account. Then I perfromed:

firebase login

logging in with the mail related to my new PROD environment and I am logged in.

Then I have done

firebase init

and then I choosed this voice: Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites in order to deploy my application on the hosting service of my PROD environment.

The problem is that selecting this voice I am obtaining this error message:

? Which Firebase CLI features do you want to set up for this folder? Press Space to select features, then Enter to confirm your choices. Hosting: C
onfigure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites

=== 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, using color-patch.

Error: Failed to get Firebase project color-patch. Please make sure the project exists and your account has permission to access it.

Why am I obtaining this error message? What am I missing?

Inside my Firebase console of my PROD environment (where I am trying to deploy) into the project settings I have this:

Answer 1

Your project name is "color-patch-b808f", but the CLI thinks it's "color-patch". Perhaps you had originally created a project with a shorter name, then created a new project with the longer name - it's hard to tell. But you will have to reset the CLI's understanding of the project you want to use. It has saved the project name in a file called ".firebaserc" (which you can see from the CLI output). That file is at the root of your project where you initially ran firebase init. You can either:

• Edit this file to contain the new name of the project
• Delete this file and run firebase init again
• Run firebase add to add a new alias to this project

You might want to review the documentation for the CLI to understand how to work with multiple projects.
