The fix is here:
#2945

We should hopefully be able to get 9.0.1 out today with a fix (once the San Francisco folks wake up!)

Nice work! Sir

[worldofchris]

Have same issue

[jwoyo]

Aaargh! Our CI crashed because it executed "npm install firebase-tools" and then "firebase deploy" – doing so we updated to firebase-tools 9.x automatically and it crashed.

Thank you for reporting & fixing this! ❤️
This issue helped me a lot locating the problem.

We will use a fixed version in our deployment script now. 😅

The fix has been merged and will be included in the next release (which should be very soon).

[sharkdevs]

facing the same issue. Hope to get the fix. So in the meanwhile do we downgrade?

[bkendall]

San Francisco here: release is on the way out the door. Thanks for your patience! (Downgrading to v8.20 would be a fine workaround)

[rajprashanthr]

Thanks a lot

[bkendall]

This has shipped in v9.0.1!
