Unable to use result of defineString in runWith config

[RYFN]

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools: 11.18.0

Platform: macOS

[REQUIRED] Test case

Params docs https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/config-env#params state

// To use configured parameters inside the config for a function, provide them
// directly. To use them at runtime, call .value() on them.

However, attempting to use this in a typescript deployment of a function;

import { defineString } from 'firebase-functions/params';
...
const vpcConnector = defineString('MY_VPC');

export const someFunction = functions
    .region('europe-west2')
    .runWith({
        vpcConnector: vpcConnector,
        vpcConnectorEgressSettings: 'ALL_TRAFFIC'
    })
    .https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
          ...

Leads to TS error Type 'StringParam' is not assignable to type 'string | ResetValue | undefined'. Type 'Param<string>' is not assignable to type 'ResetValue'.

I can vpcConnector: vpcConnector.value() but from the docs, this seems like an incorrect approach?

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

See example above.

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

Use variables created from defineString in runtime config in TS function

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Types won't allow return value of defineString to be used in runtime config.

This issue does not have all the information required by the template. Looks like you forgot to fill out some sections. Please update the issue with more information.

Seems like we forgot to update the type definition of VpcConnector in the options structs. firebase/firebase-functions#1329 should fix it.

The above fix is working great for VpcConnector! Thank you.

An extension to this, when using defineString in region, workaround of casting as any works, but is undesirable. Using v4.2.1

Would you like me to raise this as a separate issue?

@RYFN Yep, please raise a separate issue for that. I'm gonna close this one since it appears to be fixed.
