i stepping through tutorial:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-web/#0
on step 9 asks execute firebase deploy when try error message:
could not read public directory. remove links , shortcuts , try again.
i don't know means links , shortcuts far can tell there nothing in folder plain old files.
the folder i'm trying deploy web folder should contain completed sample.
note per instructions storage.rules updated name of bucket , index.html updated firebase snippet.
the firebase.json file looks this:
{ "database": { "rules": "database-rules.json" }, "storage": { "rules": "storage.rules" }, "hosting": { "public": "./", "ignore": [ "firebase.json", "database-rules.json", "storage.rules" ] } } any ideas error be? there way more detailed information?
in case temp emacs file causing issue:
$ firebase deploy === deploying 'xxxx-42402'... deploying database, hosting ✔ database: rules ready deploy. hosting: preparing public directory upload... error: not read public directory. remove links , shortcuts , try again. rooseveltpwnsu:xxxx xrdawson$ ls -la public/ total 3840 -rw-r--r-- 1 xrdawson staff 5122 feb 13 12:52 #index.html# drwxr-xr-x 15 xrdawson staff 510 feb 13 14:40 . lrwxr-xr-x 1 xrdawson staff 35 feb 6 14:12 .#index.html -> xrdawson@rooseveltpwnsu.local.67168 saving file index.html inside emacs resolved issue me!
