IBM Watson TextToSpeech - cannot read property .pipe of undefined

问题

I have the following code, straight from the documentation:

var TextToSpeechV1 = require('watson-developer-cloud/text-to- 
speech/v1');
var fs = require('fs');

var textToSpeech = new TextToSpeechV1({
iam_apikey: '---myapikey---',
url: 'https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api/'
});

var synthesizeParams = {
text: 'Hello world, you dummy ass',
accept: 'audio/wav',
voice: 'en-US_AllisonVoice'
};

// Pipe the synthesized text to a file. 
textToSpeech.synthesize(synthesizeParams).on('error', function(error) {
console.log(error);
}).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('hello_world.wav'));

when I run it it gives the following error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/tjbotcz_lite $ sudo node ttstest.js
/home/pi/Desktop/tjbotcz_lite/ttstest.js:16
textToSpeech.synthesize(synthesizeParams).on('error', function(error) {
                                         ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined

    at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:516:3)

Any clues why? I have the same issue with TJBot, so I tried a simple example from documentation and voila - the same error. When I use my old service (with username and password, not api key) it works fine. I have the new version of watson-cloud library (3.13.1).

Thanks for any hints. Regards, Jan.

The below code works for me and generating an audio.wav file using the Text-to-Speech API Key

var TextToSpeechV1 = require('watson-developer-cloud/text-to-speech/v1');
var fs = require('fs');

var textToSpeech = new TextToSpeechV1({
  iam_apikey: '<API_KEY>',
  url: 'https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api'
});

var synthesizeParams = {
  text: 'Hello world',
  accept: 'audio/wav',
  voice: 'en-US_AllisonVoice'
};

textToSpeech
  .synthesize(synthesizeParams, function(err, audio) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
      return;
    }
    textToSpeech.repairWavHeader(audio);
    fs.writeFileSync('audio.wav', audio);
    console.log('audio.wav written with a corrected wav header');
});

Updated the code snippet and this works

I looked here for help but the docs there are definitely wrong. I was able to solve this by using audio.result.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('audio.wav')
