firebase deploy issues

[jnash766]

I'm very new to firebase and trying to work through the setup. I ran into an issue I can't seem to get past. I apologize in advance, I'm sure this must be something dumb I'm missing.

When doing this step:
Push the function getFeed with firebase deploy --only functions In the output, you'll see the getFeed URL, copy that.

I get the following error:
John-iMac lib % firebase deploy --only functions
⚠ functions: package.json indicates an outdated version of firebase-functions.
Please upgrade using npm install --save firebase-functions@latest in your functions directory.

Not sure if this is ok, but I found where other firebase projects were having this same error. They were able to resolve it by editing the tsconfig.json and changing the following:

"noUnusedLocals": true, <-- change this to: false

I did this and I no longer get an error, but I also don't see "getFeed URL" in the output. Any ideas if thats ok to change that variable and if where I would find the getFeed URL? I'm guessing the project console URL is not what I'm looking for?
