Description

I'm having trouble while calling Polly.

`Polly.synthesizeSpeech(params, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err.code)
} else if (data) {
if (data.AudioStream instanceof Buffer) {
Fs.writeFile(argv.mp3, data.AudioStream, (err)=> {
if (err) {
return console.log(err)
}
console.log("The file was saved!")
var output = child_process.execSync('lame --decode ' + argv.mp3 + ' ' + '-b 8000' + ' ' + argv.wav + '.wav');
})
}
}
})
`

/opt/aws-nodejs-sample/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/request.js:31
throw err;

I have no idea how to fix this.

Research direction

Start at script.js line 29, where the stack trace points to Fs.writeFile, and inspect how argv.mp3 is populated before the Polly.synthesizeSpeech callback. Reproduce the call with a valid output path and confirm the sample handles the audio response without the path TypeError.
