nodejs-storage: Using File.download() throws _read() method is not implemented

⚠️ BLOCKED

https://github.com/googleapis/teeny-request/issues/63

This section was added by @stephenplusplus.

Environment details

OS: Windows 10 version 1903
Node.js version: 10.16.1
npm version: 6.9.0
@google-cloud/storage version: 3.0.4

Steps to reproduce

Create a new Storage class, use any bucket available in your Google Cloud Dashboard

import {Storage} from '@google-cloud/storage'
gcloudstorage = new Storage({projectId: <yourgcloud_proyectid>, keyFilename: <keyfilenamepath>})

const storage_bucket = gcloudstorage.bucket(<yourgcloud_bucketname>)

Inside an async function declare the path variables to get the file and download the file

let filepath = 'company_' + <a_function_parameter> + '_usersignature_' + <another_function_parameter> + '.png'

let anonFilename = Math.random().toString(36).replace('0.', '') //generates a random string
let savePath = __dirname + '../../../downloads/' + anonFilename + '.png'

Download the file inside the async block using await

await storage_bucket.file(filepath).download({destination: savePath})

Running these lines you finally get

Error [ERR_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED]: The _read() method is not implemented
    at Duplex.Readable._read (_stream_readable.js:627:24)
    at Duplex.Readable.read (_stream_readable.js:470:10)
    at resume_ (_stream_readable.js:949:12)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

PD: I also verified that the file already exists. tried the 3.0.3 version of @google-cloud/storage with no luck

The rollback of the latest dist tag on @google-cloud/common is complete. Folks on the thread - if you rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json and then npm install again, everything should be working as expected.

I’m downgrading this to a P2 and keeping the issue open to investigate what created the failures in @google-cloud/common version 2.1.0.

I get suddenly the same error. I’m using firebase storage (which is a wrapper for google cloud storage). A simple re-deploy caused that error. I assume the new version of pumpify https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-storage/pull/740 causes that.
