Angular 6.0 firebase hosting deploy not working

Question

I am looking for a tutorial on how to properly setup the firebase-tools hosting on my angular 6.0 projects, and what I found is always like this.

- firebase init 
- then select the Hosting
- What do you want to use as your public directory? dist
- Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? Yes
- Overwrite? No
- ng build --prod
- firebase deploy

but after doing this, this is always what I've got.

Solution 1

I found that the ng build --prod will create a dist and an another subfolder under this where the project location is.

dist
|--TheProject_Folder
|  |--assets|index.html - This index html is not using.
|--index.html - This is the html generated in the firebase init

So what I did is to initialize again the firebase init and change the public directory from dist to dist/TheProject_Folder:

- What do you want to use as your public directory? dist/TheProject_Folder
- Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? Yes
- Overwrite? No

Solution 2

Below is step by step process to host angular6.0 app on firebase

1] npm install -g firebase-tool Install firebase tool

2] firebase login Use the CLI tools to login in Firebase.

After connecting to our account/Gmail-account, we will get the firebase CLI Login Successfull message in browser

3] firebase init

Here are the answers to the questions Firebase tools will ask:

? Are you ready to proceed? Yes
? Which Firebase CLI features do you want to setup for this folder? Press Space to select features, then Enter to confirm your choices. Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites

? What do you want to use as your public directory? dist (This is important! Angular creates the dist folder.)

? Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index. html)? Yes

4] ng build --prod

This will create a brand new dist/ folder in our project with the files necessary to launch our app.

5] Before deploying the app, go to firebase.json file and specify your project public field like this

"public": "dist/your_project_name",

6] Now deploy the project in firebase using below command

firebase deploy

After depolying you will get the below message

• Deploy complete!

Project Console: https://************ [you will get the actual url name rather than stars]

Hosting URL: https://************* [you will get the actual url name rather than stars]

you can access the website by the URL given in Hosting URL

Solution 3

it worked me after i remove cache and refresh browser, thanks.

Solution 4

The second possible way is just to change outputPath in angular.json to dist, so the line will look like this "outputhPath": "dist"

Solution 5

It worked when I cleared the cache with ctrl+shift+R hard reset on the web! Make sure the correct index.html file is being deployed on firebase.
