Description

https://firebase.google.com/docs/emulator-suite/install_and_configure The above web page below says this <> If you haven't already done so, initialize the current working directory as a Firebase project, following the onscreen prompts to specify which products to use:

firebase init </>

This needs updating for flutter users who have used "flutterfire configure" (instead of firebase init) to create their project.

According to this archived page there is some conflict between the "flutterfire configure" method and the "firebase init" method so the solution for flutterfire users is probably not as simple as just calling firebase init. https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/migration

The "flutterfire configure" method results in two missing files that you need to have for the emulator - firebase.json and .firebaserc. firebase.json needs to be updated when the services being used are changed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start the firebase emulator from within your firebase directory
2. The emulator reports firebase.json and .firebaserc files are missing and doesn't run

Expected behavior

The emulator should run without errors instead of not running
