Google assistant action, no function URL

Question

i would like to create an action project. I have an issue when i run firebase deploy --only functions.

Before i run: npm install -g firebase-tools, firebase login, firebase init, npm install actions-on-google, npm install

Everything is working and it says: Deploy complete. But it doesnt deliver me the function URL in the CMD. Also when i look it up over here : https://console.firebase.google.com/.../functions/list it doesnt show me the URL.

Do you have any idea what i am doing wrong? That is the Tutorial i am doing: https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/fulfillment-hosting

Best regards Luca

I do not have any code yet. My index.js only contains `const functions = require('firebase-functions');` — Luca Kaiser, Nov 28 '18 at 13:38
You need to define an HTTP function before a deployment will give you a url. You can't deploy "nothing" and expect something to be created. — Doug Stevenson, Nov 28 '18 at 13:39

You need to export a function otherwise Firebase cannot run/deploy it. You can view some great code examples on how to make Actions on the Google Assistant with Firebase here.

The following code should help you get started.

const {dialogflow} = require('actions-on-google');
const functions = require('firebase-functions');

const app = dialogflow({debug: true});


exports.myFunction = functions.https.onRequest(app);
