No HTTPS functions found. Use firebase functions:shell

Question

I've been trying all day to get my functions to run locally but I don't know why it keeps saying I have no functions. I'm using typescript, so I ran tsc in the functions folder, then ran sudo firebase serve --only functions, but I get this error:

i  functions: No HTTPS functions found. 
Use firebase functions:shell if you would like to emulate other types of functions.

Edit: I tried serving the function without sudo but I get permission issues:

You have a warning message: "Failed to emulate helloWorld". What does the error log file say? — Doug Stevenson, Nov 15 '18 at 23:12
It says "connection refused." See here: https://gist.github.com/AskYous/d4112ab86fa0731a0f168ccde3e1a306 — AskYous, Nov 16 '18 at 17:09
Any reason why you're using sudo to run `firebase serve`? That shouldn't be necessary. — Doug Stevenson, Nov 16 '18 at 17:26
I get permission issues. I put a screenshot in the post above. — AskYous, Nov 16 '18 at 17:35

Make sure you have nothing running on the same port that the Firebase function emulator is trying to run on, in my case I had a Docker container running on port 5000. Once I stopped it and started the Firebase function emulator it served the function correctly.

Ok, I don't know why it worked, but I just restarted VSCode (because it had an update) and everything works now.
