I have uninstalled all references to Node and re-installed Node.js, which is supposed to include NPM. However, when I attempt to start the Firebase emulators - this error is still occurring and not allowing the emulators to start. I am out of options on Git and StackOverflow as nothing remains consistent for solutions this far.
I am also using an M1 2020 version.
Thank you.
Update - after reviewing the debug.log I discovered that Java was not installed on the new Mac. I installed and all emulators fired.
If you look in firebase-debug.log in your functions folder you will see it may be getting a cached version of firebase from your user folder in your system. You can safely delete that. This happened to me after I used NVM to switch between versions.
