Firebase hosting deployment fails due to public directory issue

[Lucas Challamel]

I am using the Firebase deployment pipeline:

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/firebase-deploy/src/master/

It deploys ok all my FB components, except for HOSTING. 

It says: 

Error: Specified public directory 'ui/build' does not exist, can't deploy hosting to site pupa101 ✖ Deployment failed.

Same command runs fine on command line, based on same firebase.jsonfile which stipulates:

"hosting": { "public": "ui/build", "ignore": [ "firebase.json", "**/.*", "**/node_modules/**" ], "rewrites": [ { "source": "**", "destination": "/index.html" } ] },

Presumably, the script works well for the default "public": "public" keypair, but not if the public folder is customised. I suspect a bug?

@Lucas Challamel can you please give more information how you build your application before using firebase.

Do you use npm install?

I tried to reproduce the case npm installing to specified dir and it succeeded.

Can you share also full log?
