hosting:channel:deploy: Hosting configs should only include either "site" or \"target\", not both.

[adam-remotesocial]

I have a multisite config with targets. Using npx firebase-tools deploy --only hosting or npx firebase-tools deploy --only hosting:bbbb works fine. But if I use the new GitHub action, it fails on the line:

 /usr/local/bin/npx firebase-tools hosting:channel:deploy pr22-blah --expires 30d --project blah-dev --json

Running the same thing locally fails in the same way. The error is:

$ npx firebase-tools hosting:channel:deploy pr22-blah --only bbb --expires 30d --project blah-dev --json
{
  "status": "error",
  "error": "Hosting configs should only include either \"site\" or \"target\", not both."
}

Note that the command I used there adds --only bbb. The command fails the same way with or without that.

Also note that my firebase.json does NOT list "site" at all. See below:

  "projects": {
    "default": "blah-dev",

Thanks for the report. I've got a fix out and will get it out ASAP.

[Mistic92]

I'm getting this error when not using channel but just firebase deploy --only hosting:. I'm running it on gitlab runner where I have site and target by branch name
firebase deploy --only hosting:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG -m "Tag $TAG Pipeline $CI_PIPELINE_ID, build $CI_BUILD_ID" --non-interactive

@Mistic92 please open a new issue with more details and reproduction steps.
