I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not have all the information required by the template. Looks like you forgot to fill out some sections. Please update the issue with more information.

There has been (what I consider to be an undocumented) breaking change in firebase-functions.

You now need to specify V1 on your import const functions = require('firebase-functions/v1');

see https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/issues/1614

In case of use to anyone else who comes across this thread (like me!), I found the migration docs from v1 to v2 and so no longer use runWith() to pass in secrets.

const {onRequest} = require('firebase-functions/v2/https');

exports.readGoogleDoc = onRequest({
    secrets: [googleApiCredentials]
  }, async (req, res) => {

So I don't need the runWith() function - its now the first argument to the v2 onRequest() function.

Thank you, @alankent

For me, it was outside of my function at the bottom of my code, I had declared my runWith params, which seemingly no longer works.

Old code:

export const myFunction = onRequest(async (req, res) => {
(...)
}

myFunction.runWith({
  invoker: 'private' // Set the invoker to 'private'
})

Newcode:

export const transcribeAudio = onRequest(
  {
    invoker: 'private' // Set the invoker to 'private'
  },
  async (req, res) => {
  (...)
})

Thanks @alankent - I think a resolution to this would be to clearly document this change where possible in firebase-functions.

This should probably have been added to the changelog. I will raise this with the team to see how we can make sure it's clearly documented.
