see logs of speech data sent in google-cloud-node

[iankit3]

Environment details

• OS: Ubuntu 16.04
• Node.js version: 6.9.2
• npm version: 4.0.5
• google-cloud-node version: latest alpha as on 4/4/2017

Steps to reproduce

1. require google-cloud

const request = {
  config: {
    encoding: encoding,
    sampleRate: sampleRate,
    languageCode: 'en-IN-x-longform',
  }
};

// Stream the audio to the Google Cloud Speech API
const recognizeStream = speech.createRecognizeStream(request)
  .on('error', (error) => {
    console.error;
  })
  .on('data', (data) => {
    console.log('Data received: %j', data);
    if ('results' in data)
      console.log(chalk.bgYellow(data.results));
    logger.log(JSON.stringify(data) + '\n');
  });
// Stream an audio file from disk to the Speech API, e.g. "./resources/audio.raw"
filename = "./resources/audio.raw";
fs.createReadStream(filename).pipe(recognizeStream);`

  var streamBuffers = require('stream-buffers');
  function streamingRecognize (audioStream, encoding, sampleRate) {
  var defaultFrequency = streamBuffers.DEFAULT_FREQUENCY;

    // Initialize stream
    var myReadableStreamBuffer = new streamBuffers.ReadableStreamBuffer({
        //frequency: 10  ,     // in milliseconds.
        frequency: defaultFrequency,
        chunkSize: 4096     // in bytes.
    });

     console.log(  chalk.red( Buffer.isBuffer(audioStream) )  )

     myReadableStreamBuffer.put(audioStream);
}

I am using streamBuffers = require('stream-buffers'); to convert audioBuffer from browser to convert it to stream and then pipe it to speech.createRecognizeStream(request)
Instead of creating stream from file

As i am clueless that what is not working as i am not able to see the logs of the data i am sending
I am using the google-cloud-node client the google-cloud is authenticated in my local system

I am getting results for the demo file with fs.createReadStream(filename).pipe(recognizeStream);

Is there any way to see the logs of the data i am sending( Is the data correct or the problem is there at Buffer to Stream conversion

Thanks!

Hello @iankit3,
I recommend using the Node.js debugger to inspect what you are sending.

Thanks @lukesneeringer for the help ! I am using VSCode for debugging .
Is there any way to see the Data that google-speech backend is processing ?

Thanks for the reply. @lukesneeringer

It might be in your dashboard logs? I am not sure, to be honest. That is out of scope for the client library though.
