google cloud firestore - Running the firebase emulators when the functions directory is in a different project/location

Question

I am running all the firebase emulators locally on a windows 10 machine. However I am running my functions emulator separately as the functions dir is in a different project/location. It appears the triggers are not being emulated and I get the warning below. Everything apart from the trigger/background functions appears to work fine.

Any solutions?

i  emulators: Starting emulators: functions
!  hub: emulator hub unable to start on port 4400, starting on 4401 instead.
!  emulators: It seems that you are running multiple instances of the emulator suite for project myproject-dev. This may result in unexpected behavior.
!  functions: The following emulators are not running, calls to these services from the Functions emulator will affect production: auth, firestore, database, hosting, pubsub
!  Your requested "node" version "10" doesn't match your global version "12"
!  logging: Logging Emulator unable to start on port 4500, starting on 4501 instead.
!  ui: Emulator UI unable to start on port 4000, starting on 4003 instead.
i  ui: Emulator UI logging to ui-debug.log
i  functions: Watching "R:myprojectmyprojectCloudfunctions" for Cloud Functions...
!  functions: The Cloud Firestore emulator is not running, so calls to Firestore will affect production.
i  functions[memberUpdate]: function ignored because the firestore emulator does not exist or is not running.

Update: My folder structure.

1. R:/customer/customer-cloud-project/functions
2. R:/cusomer/customer-web-app/

I can run all the emulators in location 2 fine except the functions emulator as there is no functions directory. So I run the following in location 1 in the functions folder: firebase emulators:start --only functions

This works fine as it runs 2 instances of the emulator. However the trigger/background functions do not run as it can't find the firestore emulator running on a different port.
