Functions keep loading forever when firebase emulators:start

[EmilioNicolas]

Environment info

firebase-tools: 12.7.0

Platform: Mac

Test case

I am running firebase emulators:start and it never stops logging and apparently reloading functions. This used to work with my last firebase version of firebase-tools

Steps to reproduce

run firebase emulators:start with python functions

Expected behavior

Emulators are up and running and log stop reloading functions continuously

Actual behavior

Firebase cli keeps reloading functions: ✔ functions: Loaded functions definitions from source: ...

Maybe this PR has something to do: #6442

It seems is because of this:

File /Users/emilio/Code/project/functions/Encoded-values.json changed

That file is from urlencoder library

Hi @EmilioNicolas, thanks for reaching out. I’m trying to reproduce the behavior you’re encountering, but so far I’m unable to replicate the issue. When starting the emulator, it only loads the functions on initial start, and when any changes are made.

From what I can guess, in your case the contents of the file /Users/emilio/Code/project/functions/Encoded-values.json is being changed, which is causing the functions to be reloaded.

Could you share with us your firebase-debug.log file and sample code snippets so that we can reproduce the issue on our end? Please remove any PII (personal identifiable information) before sharing the file. By any chance, if you can create a minimal, reproducible sample, please share it as well.

Ey! Thanks for your answer, I finally changed urlencoder by urllib in python imports and all good with that. It is not a bug from firebase, but something related with my config. Thanks anyway!!
