github actions firebase No project active, but project aliases are available - reactjs

Question

I have created a workflow to build react app to the production.
name: Build and Deploy
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build:
name: Build
env:
REACT_APP_ENV: live build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Repo
uses: actions/checkout#master
- name: Install Dependencies
run: npm install
- name: Build
run: npm run build
- name: Archive Production Artifact
uses: actions/upload-artifact#master
with:
name: build
path: build
deploy:
name: Deploy
needs: build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Repo
uses: actions/checkout#master
- name: Download Artifact
uses: actions/download-artifact#master
with:
name: build
path: build
- name: Deploy to Firebase
uses: w9jds/firebase-action#master
with:
args: deploy --only hosting:production
env:
FIREBASE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }}
Build job is running correctly. But for the deploy, I got this error
Error: No project active, but project aliases are available.
Run firebase use with one of these options:
My .firebaserc file
{
"projects": {
"production": "gottamenu-admin",
"development":"gotta-menu-ap"
}
}
I follow instructions on the firebase repo for GitHub actions
If you have multiple hosting environments you can specify which one in the args line. e.g. args: deploy --only hosting:[environment name]
That's why I put args: deploy --only hosting:production
How do I fix this error in GitHub action?

Answer 1

Use deploy --only hosting:production if you want to deploy different sites (targets) on the same firebase-project
And your .firebaserc should look like
{
"projects": {
"default": "gottamenu-admin"
},
"targets": {
"gottamenu-admin": {
"hosting": {
"production": [
"gottamenu-admin",
],
"development": [
"gotta-menu-ap"
]
}
}
}
}
If you want to deploy to different firebase-projects
then your .firebaserc file is correct but
you should use deploy -P production or deploy --project production
