What is the issue with the return and console logging in my code utilizing AudioSVGWaveform and axios in Pipedream platform?

  • what going on with my code??

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;
import AudioSVGWaveform from ‘audio-waveform-svg-path’;
import fs from ‘fs’;

export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const audioUrl = steps.trigger.event.body.data[0].AudioURL;
console.log(“Audio URL:”, audioUrl);

const trackWaveform = new AudioSVGWaveform({ url: audioUrl });
await trackWaveform.loadFromUrl();
const path = trackWaveform.getPath();

console.log("SVG Path:", path);

const filePath = '/tmp/waveform.svg';
const svgContent = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="${path}"/></svg>`;
fs.writeFileSync(filePath, svgContent);

console.log("SVG file created at:", filePath);

return { path, filePath };

}
});

I’m really confused about the return. Additionally, I’ve added some console logging and that isn’t rendering in the UX

It looks like you’re trying to generate an SVG waveform from an audio URL and save it to a file. There are a few issues in your code that might be causing problems: 1. Incorrect SVG Content String: The SVG content string is incorrectly formatted with HTML entities. It should be a proper SVG string. 2. File Writing: Ensure that the file writing operation is correctly handled. 3. Console Logging: Console logs in Pipedream steps are not directly visible in the UX. You should use $.export to export data for debugging. Here’s a revised version of your code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; import AudioSVGWaveform from 'audio-waveform-svg-path'; import fs from 'fs'; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const audioUrl = steps.trigger.event.body.data[0].AudioURL; console.log("Audio URL:", audioUrl); const trackWaveform = new AudioSVGWaveform({ url: audioUrl }); await trackWaveform.loadFromUrl(); const path = trackWaveform.getPath(); console.log("SVG Path:", path); const filePath = '/tmp/waveform.svg'; const svgContent = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="${path}"/></svg>`; fs.writeFileSync(filePath, svgContent); console.log("SVG file created at:", filePath); // Export data for debugging and downstream steps $.export("path", path); $.export("filePath", filePath); return { path, filePath }; } }); ### Key Changes: 1. SVG Content String: Corrected the SVG string format. 2. Console Logging: Added $.export to export the path and filePath for debugging and downstream steps. ### Additional Notes: - Console Logs: While console.log statements are useful, they won’t be visible in the Pipedream UX. Use $.export to make data available for debugging. - File Writing: Ensure that the file writing operation is correctly handled and that the /tmp directory is used for writing files. If you still encounter issues, please provide more details or any error messages you see.

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘export’

It looks like you’re encountering a SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'. This error typically occurs when there is an issue with the syntax of your code, specifically with the export statement. In Pipedream, you should use the defineComponent function to define your components. Here’s an example of how to properly structure your Pipedream component: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const response = await axios($, { url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/charizard", }); const pokemon = response; $.export("pokemon", pokemon); }, }); In this example: 1. We import axios from @pipedream/platform. 2. We use defineComponent to define the component. 3. Inside the run method, we make an HTTP request using axios. 4. We use $.export to export the data so it can be used in downstream steps. Make sure your code follows this structure to avoid syntax errors. If you have any specific code that is causing the issue, please share it so I can provide more targeted assistance.

  • I tried this:

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;
import AudioSVGWaveform from ‘audio-waveform-svg-path’;
import fs from ‘fs’;

export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const audioUrl = steps.trigger.event.body.data[0].AudioURL;
console.log(“Audio URL:”, audioUrl);

const trackWaveform = new AudioSVGWaveform({ url: audioUrl });
await trackWaveform.loadFromUrl();
const path = trackWaveform.getPath();

console.log("SVG Path:", path);

const filePath = '/tmp/waveform.svg';
const svgContent = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="${path}"/></svg>`;
fs.writeFileSync(filePath, svgContent);

console.log("SVG file created at:", filePath);

$.export("path", path);
$.export("filePath", filePath);

}
});

but still gotthe UserError
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘export’

I’m also not seeing any results from the node step

It looks like you are encountering a SyntaxError due to the use of export in your code. In Pipedream components, you should use defineComponent for the default export. Additionally, there are a few adjustments needed to ensure the code runs correctly within the Pipedream environment. Here’s the corrected version of your code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; import AudioSVGWaveform from 'audio-waveform-svg-path'; import fs from 'fs'; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const audioUrl = steps.trigger.event.body.data[0].AudioURL; console.log("Audio URL:", audioUrl); const trackWaveform = new AudioSVGWaveform({ url: audioUrl }); await trackWaveform.loadFromUrl(); const path = trackWaveform.getPath(); console.log("SVG Path:", path); const filePath = '/tmp/waveform.svg'; const svgContent = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="${path}"/></svg>`; fs.writeFileSync(filePath, svgContent); console.log("SVG file created at:", filePath); $.export("path", path); $.export("filePath", filePath); } }); ### Key Changes: 1. Corrected the export statement: Used defineComponent to define the Pipedream component. 2. Fixed the SVG content string: Removed the HTML entity encoding (< and >) and used proper angle brackets (< and >). ### Explanation: - Import Statements: Ensure all necessary modules are imported at the top. - Component Definition: Use defineComponent to define the Pipedream component. - Run Method: The run method contains the logic to fetch the audio URL, generate the waveform path, create the SVG file, and export the path and file path. This should resolve the SyntaxError and allow you to see the results from the Node.js step. If you encounter any further issues, please let me know!
