Firebase function deployment fails with 'missing' dependencies error

I am encountering an error when attempting to deploy a Firebase function. Despite deleting node_modules and package-lock.json, running npm install, and executing firebase deploy --only functions many times, the build process still fails with the following error:

Functions deploy had errors with the following functions:
        update(asia-east2)
i  functions: cleaning up build files...

Error: There was an error deploying functions

      "ignore": [
        "node_modules",
        ".git",
        "firebase-debug.log",
        "firebase-debug.*.log"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

I don’t have .gcloudignore but .gitignore:

node_modules/

I have manually npm installed each of them but anytime I execute firebase deploy --only functions, it keeps asking for more. Now my package-lock.json has hundreds of packages.

The code I’m testing:

exports.helloWorld = functions
  .region("asia-east2")
  .https.onRequest((request, response) => {
    functions.logger.info("Hello logs!", { structuredData: true });
    response.send("Hello from Firebase!");
  });

The steps I took:

1. npm install -g firebase-tools

2. firebase login

3. firebase init functions – Use an existing project …

4. cd functions

5. npm i stripe

6. edit index.js

7. firebase deploy --only functions

On the Firebase Dashboard, this function is indicated by a red triangle with the message ‘Function deployment failed. Please try again.’

I have also tried updating the affected packages in my package.json file, but the error persists.

I am unsure what could be causing this issue, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to fix it. Thank you for your help.
