Code example

# example

import GoogleMaps from '@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js';

let googleMapsClient;

function createGoogleMapsClient() {
  if (googleMapsClient) {
    return googleMapsClient;
  }
  googleMapsClient = GoogleMaps.createClient({
    key: process.env.GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY,
  });

  return googleMapsClient;
}

export default createGoogleMapsClient;


export function placesAutoComplete(query, options = {}) {
  console.log('placesAutoComplete===');
  const components = {};
  if (options.countryCode)
    components.country =
      options.countryCode; /* can't pass undefined as country */
  return createGoogleMapsClient()
    .places.Autocomplete({
      input: query,
      components,
      types: options.types,
    })
    .then((response) => response.json.predictions);
}

seems like form-data trying to find combined-stream

@amuramoto any thoughts?

[amuramoto]

When are you seeing this crash? Is it on start up? npm install? Sometime during runtime when the code above is called?

I'm not seeing a similar crash when our test or build steps run. Have you tried wiping node_modules and reinstalling?

[juztinlazaro]

@amuramoto yes in startup, FYI im using nodeJS and we deployed it in AWS lambda, already wiping node_modules and reinstalling the packages.

Is this issue still occuring in the latest version?

The combined-stream package is a transitive dependency of axios (via form-data), and should definitely be installed together with axios. If it's not, there's something bad going on that we can't really help debug.
