When can firebase.config differ from functions:functions:get?

Question

Command line

Set the environment variables as indicated in the docs:

firebase functions:config:set someservice.key="THE API KEY" someservice.id="THE CLIENT ID"

When I call functions.config(), then the variables are not taken from the config (except for one ugly key). However, when I call functions:config:get from cli, an object with the necessary keys is returned.

How can I set the variables correctly so that I can get them in the node from functions.config() ? The latest version of the functions (with the correct keys) has been deployed, but functions.config() has not been updated.

If anyone is interested, then the runtime config is taken from the local file, and the CLI gets the config from the deployed functions.
This command pulls the remote config into the local .runtimeconfig:

firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json
