Firebase CLI doesn't work with npx from v12.0.0 about firebase-tools HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @yaroslavnikiforov, thanks for reaching out. I’m unable to reproduce the error you mentioned. I tried following the steps you provided, but I was able to run npx firebase --help without any issues. A couple of solutions to try here would be:

1. Reinstallation by running npm uninstall firebase-tools then npm install firebase-tools
2. Adding the missing permission to execute the file

Try running cd /Users/myuser/projects/example/node_modules/.bin, then ls -l | grep firebase to see if you’re missing any permissions.

Since this looks more like a permission issue in your system rather than an issue with the CLI, I’m going to close this.

Thanks for the reply @aalej.
ls -l | grep firebase prints the following:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 yaroslav  staff  37 Apr 26 15:41 firebase -> ../firebase-tools/lib/bin/firebase.js
lrwxr-xr-x  1 yaroslav  staff  51 Apr 26 15:41 firebase-functions -> ../firebase-functions/lib/bin/firebase-functions.js

What permissions are missing here and how to add them?
An important point for this problem is not having firebase-tools installed globally. And it also works fine for me when version is <= 11.30.0.
