Environment details

• OS: OSX 10.12.6
• Node.js version: v4.3.2
• npm version: 2.14.12
• @google-cloud/speech version: 0.11.0

Steps to reproduce

NOTE: In the example I am using keyFilePath but I also tried export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/file

Code

const audio = {
          content: base64AudioFileContents,
        };

        const client = new speech.SpeechClient({
          projectId: 'project-id',
          keyFilePath: 'path/to/file.json'
        });

        const config = {
          encoding: 'LINEAR16',
          sampleRateHertz: 16000,
          languageCode: 'en-US',
        };

        const request = {
          audio: audio,
          config: config
        };

        client
          .recognize(request)
          .then(data => {
            console.log(data);
            const response = data[0];
            const transcription = response.results
              .map(result => result.alternatives[0].transcript)
              .join('\n');
            
              console.log(data)
          })
          .catch(err => {
            console.log(error);
          });

Sorry for the confusion-- the property name is keyFilename. Would you try that real quick?

[xavicolomer]

Doesn't seem to work. Not even a TIMEOUT, how can I help / provide more information?

[stephenplusplus]

I haven't been able to reproduce using similar snippets, such as running the samples here: https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-speech/tree/master/samples

Could you provide reproduction steps / put together a small repo I can clone to try to reproduce?

I found it.

Must be an absolute path to keyFilename. Relative path won't work.

const client = new speech.SpeechClient({
            projectId: 'project-id',
            keyFilename: '/this/must/be/absolute/path/to.json'
          });
