Describe the bug
When trying to deploy project using CLI command firebase deploy.
the following error report emerges:

Build failed with status: FAILURE and message: npm error code ERESOLVE

The dependency issue also occurs when trying different versions.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start nextjs project with package.json below:
   {
   "private": true,
   "scripts": {
   "dev": "next dev --turbopack",
   "build": "next build",
   "start": "next start"
   },
   "dependencies": {
   "@genkit-ai/dev-local-vectorstore": "^0.9.12",
   "@genkit-ai/googleai": "^0.9.12",
   "@genkit-ai/vertexai": "^0.9.12",
   "classnames": "^2.5.1",
   "date-fns": "^3.6.0",
   "genkit": "^0.9.12",
   "gray-matter": "^4.0.3",
   "llm-chunk": "^0.0.1",
   "next": "15.0.2",
   "pdf-parse": "^1.1.1",
   "react": "19.0.0-rc-02c0e824-20241028",
   "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-02c0e824-20241028",
   "remark": "^15.0.1",
   "remark-html": "^16.0.1"
   },
   "devDependencies": {
   "@types/node": "^20.14.8",
   "@types/pdf-parse": "^1.1.4",
   "@types/react": "npm:[email protected]",
   "@types/react-dom": "npm:[email protected]",
   "autoprefixer": "^10.4.19",
   "postcss": "^8.4.38",
   "tailwindcss": "^3.4.4",
   "typescript": "^5.5.2"
   }
   }

2. initialize firebase project and use command firebase deploy

3. The project deploys without any issues

4. install package: "@genkit-ai/firebase": "^0.9.12",

5. deploy project with firebase deploy

6. The above error report is printed

Expected behavior
The project should deploy without dependency issues. Locally running the project does not shows issues.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Device: [MacBook Pro
• OS: [macOS 14.4.1 (23E224)]
• Browser [Chrome, Firefox, Safari,]

Additional context
A RAG project was built and runs fine locally. Deployment is not possible using "@genkit-ai/firebase" for retrieval.
import { defineFirestoreRetriever } from "@genkit-ai/firebase";
// export const faqRetriever = defineFirestoreRetriever(ai, {
// name: "faqRetriever",
// firestore: getFirestore(app),
// collection: "studentFaq",
// contentField: "text",
// vectorField: "embedding",
// embedder: textEmbedding004, // Import from '@genkit-ai/googleai' or '@genkit-ai/vertexai'
// distanceMeasure: "COSINE", // "EUCLIDEAN", "DOT_PRODUCT", or "COSINE" (default)
// });

@Naryalin , have you tried adding an
.npmrc file to the root directory,
and in that file add the line: legacy-peer-deps=true

No, for now I’ve just downgraded the firebase-admin version since I’m still in the development phase. I’ll try your approach unless a version of firebase-frameworks compatible with [email protected] is released—thanks for the suggestion
