GCP Pub/Sub messages not being processed after re-deployment of Cloud Functions

This might be a silly question, but I'm performance testing and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help..... After deploying an updated version of my Cloud Function that processes messages from a Pub/Sub topic, I noticed that no messages are being processed anymore. The function is correctly triggered by the Pub/Sub events, as I can see the logs indicating that the function has been invoked. However, the processing logic seems to be skipped entirely, and I don't see any errors in the logs. Here's a snippet of the function: ```javascript const { PubSub } = require('@google-cloud/pubsub'); exports.processPubSubMessage = async (message, context) => { const data = Buffer.from(message.data, 'base64').toString(); console.log('Message received:', data); // Processing logic here }; ``` I ensured that the IAM roles are set correctly for the Pub/Sub service account. I also checked that the function timeout is not being exceeded and set it to 60 seconds. Despite this, I am still not seeing any processing output. The previous version of the function worked perfectly fine before the re-deployment. I tried rolling back to the previous version, and now the messages are being processed again. This leads me to think that there might be an scenario with the way the new version is handling the input data or with the deployment process itself. I'm using Node.js 14 for my Cloud Functions. Has anyone experienced this scenario before? What could be causing the new version of the function to skip the message processing, and how can I debug this effectively? My development environment is macOS. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm working on a desktop app that needs to handle this. What's the correct way to implement this? The project is a REST API built with Javascript. Cheers for any assistance! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Any ideas what could be causing this?
