Cannot find module './config.json'

Hi,

Any idea why i see the following error when deploying the function?

$ ./setup.sh
Updated property [core/project].
Creating gs://<PROJECT>-gcf-65756756756/...
WARNING: Flag `--runtime` will become a required flag soon. Please specify the value for this flag.
Deploying function (may take a while - up to 2 minutes)...failed.

Did you list all required modules in the package.json dependencies?

i think the problem is caused by the generated file .gcloudignore which excludes all files from file .gitignore too (e.g. .config.json)

# This file specifies files that are *not* uploaded to Google Cloud Platform
# using gcloud. It follows the same syntax as .gitignore, with the addition of
# "#!include" directives (which insert the entries of the given .gitignore-style
# file at that point).
#
# For more information, run:
#   $ gcloud topic gcloudignore
#
.gcloudignore
# If you would like to upload your .git directory, .gitignore file or files
# from your .gitignore file, remove the corresponding line
# below:
.git
.gitignore

node_modules
#!include:.gitignore

Deployment works (workaround) if you comment the entry for file config.json in .gitignore
