new project not showing up Firebase CLI

After 24 hrs, the project finally showed up in my list. Turns out there's just an extremely long delay if you're not the owner of the project.


You can select your project if you know the project id:

firebase use --add

That will select the project, so when you type "firebase init" will not show the select project option but take you to the next step


There is now a --project option you can use with firebase init to choose the project.

firebase init --project <projectId>

firebase-init first asks which features you wish to use, e.g. database, firestore, storage, etc.

If you choose firestore but have not yet enabled Firestore in your newly created Firebase project via firebase.google.com website, that project will not show up as a project option.

So, before running firebase-cli, enable all the features you want via the website first, ...before chosing those features in step 1 of firebase init.

Once you've enabled Firestore, for example, your project will now show up.
