Visual Studio Code – "Some functions failed to load" error message in the Firebase CF dashboard

The following typescript function deploys successfully according to the Firebase CLI but not according to the dashboard.

import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';

export const helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
  response.send("hello world");
});

Here is my console log:

I have mostly followed these tutorials: https://youtu.be/2u6Zb36OQjM?si=qxZd8G2hyIFYNRjq, https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started?gen=2nd.

Admittedly, my typescript code could be the problem.

Environment

Visual Studio Code 1.88.1

Node 20.12.0

ESLint 9.0.0

Firebase CLI 13.7.3

Safari 17.4.1 (macOS 14.4.1) but also Chrome 122.0.6261.94

MacBook Air M1 8GB

Edit

Note: I have contacted Firebase support but they might have stopped replying.

There’s no problem with asking this question because it’s always contained concerns about the code itself, and if the problem will ever be solved it could save time to both people having it and to the Firebase support.

I tried running npm install from inside the functions directory before I deployed the functions, I also tried logging in and out of the Firebase CLI.

In any case, if I run firebase --debug --only functions deploy as per Firebase support’s suggestion, the following bits catch my attention:

1. [functions] service account IAM check errored, deploy may fail: HTTP Error: 404, Unknown service account
2. 0 Functions Deployed

But many others may as well. Here is the full console log in case you’re curious:
