AssertionError ERR_ASSERTION: catch clause variable is not an Error instance

so what happens is i cant set up the authentication, firestore, and cloud storage in my project, it keeps showing this error,

[error] AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: catch clause variable is not an Error instance

at assertIsError (C:\Users\PATH\node_modules\@angular\cli\src\utilities\error.js:19:26)
at AddCommandModule.runSchematic (C:\Users\PATH\node_modules\@angular\cli\src\command-builder\schematics-command-module.js:266:43)

at async AddCommandModule.handler (C:\Users\PATH\node_modules\@angular\cli\src\command-builder\command-module.js:119:24)

This is whats in assert error

function assertIsError(value) {
    const isError = value instanceof Error ||
        // The following is needing to identify errors coming from RxJs.
        (typeof value === 'object' && value && 'name' in value && 'message' in value);
    (0, assert_1.default)(isError, 'catch clause variable is not an Error instance');
}

i dont know whats causing this but i have all my packages up to date

Solution

  • Solved at last! i tried this

    npm install firebase-tools

    and tried setting up the fire features again and it worked
