Hey @mdurfee, thanks for reporting this. From what I can gather, this looks like an issue with how the Firebase CLI parses the command options. Re-arranging the command to something like below works:
Could you give the above a try to see if this would work?
It also looks like this behavior started on firebase-tools v13.26.0. I'll check this with our engineering team to get a better idea of what could have cause this.
fix: accept command options placed before the command name
