How can I use an absolute path to store the content to deploy?
I tried next config, but does not work:
"target": "site",
"public": "/tmp/dist",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
The error says: Error: Directory '/tmp/dist' for Hosting does not exist.
I can do ls /tmp/dist and the folder exists. In fact, if I create a link in the project ln -s /tmp/dist dist, the deployment works with no problem.
The project is a multi-site project, so looks like I can not use the -p parameter:
$ firebase deploy -p /tmp/dist --only hosting:site
Error: Cannot specify --public option with multi-site configuration.
Having trouble? Try firebase [command] --help
From a quick browse of the source code of the Firebase CLI the public path value is always handled through this:
path.normalize(path.join(this.projectDir, pathName))
Based on that it seems that you can only specify a relative path, not an absolute path.
