I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

@eng-dibo I have the same problem today, It worked fine yesterday. Have you found a solution?

[its-dibo]

No, but it seems you have to update your typescript version.

Hey all, thanks for reporting this. What typescript version were you on when you got this error, and what typescript version did you downgrade to when you fixed it?

[its-dibo]

at the time of this error appeared, I used the same Typescript as before updating firebase-tools.
i.e: I didn't update Typescript.

Thanks for reporting! Looks like we needed to update our TS version. Will be addressed in #668. For now you can resolve by running this in your functions directory:

npm i typescript@latest --save-dev
