Having trouble? Try firebase deploy --help

N.B.

1. This only occurs if firebase-tools is not found in the global scope, i.e. npm install -g firebase-tools.
2. This does not occur on version 3.17.4.

@mbleigh Can you take a look? I think this is caused by the fact that firebase-tools is installed as a local dependency, so cross-env has actually been installed at the same directory level as firebase-tools, not one level deeper at firebase-tools/node_modules.

@zgosalvez In the meanwhile, you can remove the "predeploy" section in firebase.json to be able to deploy successfully.

[mbleigh]

#692 should address this (I hope). @zgosalvez can you try making your firebase-tools dependency on the branch mb-xenv-fix and see if it works?

[zgosalvez]

@mbleigh It works! I set it as "firebase-tools": "firebase/firebase-tools#mb-xenv-fix", and I was able to deploy successfully. Thanks. Looking forward to the release.
