Error during deploying VueJS app to Firebase - 'FATAL: file does not exist' and 'ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1'

Question

I have a VueJS web application and I would like to deploy it to Firebase. Previously I could do it, but now it doesn't seem to be working. Can you please help me with this issue?

I tried updating my node modules and npm version(6.5.0).

I have not idea what file could me missing.

This is my firebase.json:

{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "dist",
    "ignore": [
        "firebase.json",
        "**/.*",
        "**/node-modules/**"
    ],
    "rewrites": [
        {
            "source": "**",
            "destination": "/index.html"
        }
    ]
  }
}

And my .gitlab-ci.yml:

image: node:alpine
cache:
  paths:
    - node modules/

deploy production:
  stage: deploy
  environment: Production
  only:
    - master
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm i -g firebase-tools
    - npm run build
    - firebase deploy --non-interactive --token "1/mMKXEO51btxlLi1WFA0DCk3rTydQExwD4r3ks5OvSRXUdjfZB8tbThwqyVAOZKqY"

This is the error I am getting on GitLab:

If you're using the Emulator via the Firebase CLI, you can
disregard this message.

If you're upgrading @google-cloud/functions-emulator, these
are the recommended upgrade steps:

1.  Stop the currently running emulator, if any:

        functions stop

2.  Uninstall the current emulator, if any:

        npm uninstall -g @google-cloud/functions-emulator

3.  Install the new version of the emulator:

        npm install -g @google-cloud/functions-emulator

If you have trouble after upgrading, try deleting the config
directory found in:

    ~/.config/configstore/@google-cloud/functions-emulator

Then restart the emulator. You can also check for any renegade
Node.js emulator processes that may need to be killed:

    ps aux | grep node
