Getting "Error Authenticator must be set" when call AuthorizationV1 to obtain speech-to-text token

Running Node v10 ibm-watson v5.1.0

Getting error when try to obtain token for speech-to-text.

#

{ "message": "Authenticator must be set.", "name": "Error", "stack": "Error: Authenticator must be set.\n at AuthorizationV1.BaseService (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/node_modules/ibm-cloud-sdk-core/lib/base-service.js:66:19)\n at new AuthorizationV1 (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/node_modules/ibm-watson/authorization/v1.js:44:28)\n at Object.token (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/services/stt.js:17:32)\n at speech-to-text_token (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/index.js:42:54)\n at Object.exec (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/index.js:33:73)\n at Promise (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/index.js:10:16)\n at new Promise ()\n at NodeActionRunner.main [as userScriptMain] (/nodejsAction/VuncPM95/index.js:9:12)\n at Promise (/nodejsAction/runner.js:73:35)\n at new Promise ()" }

#

When try with typescript 3.6.4

#

{ "message": "Authenticator must be set.", "name": "Error", "stack": "Error: Authenticator must be set.\n at t.e (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:45665)\n at new t (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :16:49145)\n at Object.token (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:44594)\n at speech-to-text_token (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:43617)\n at Object.exec (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:43498)\n at Promise (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:43038)\n at new Promise ()\n at NodeActionRunner.a [as userScriptMain] (eval at initializeActionHandler (/nodejsAction/runner.js:57:23), :22:43016)\n at Promise (/nodejsAction/runner.js:73:35)\n at new Promise ()" }

#

export const SpeechToText = {
  token: (params: WatsonParams) => {
    const sttCredentials = Object.assign(
      {
        username: params.speechToTextUsername, // or hard-code credentials here
        password: params.speechToTextPassword,
        iam_apikey: params.speechToTextIamApikey, // if using an RC service
        url: params.speechToTextUrl ? params.speechToTextUrl : SpeechToTextV1.URL
      },
      vcapServices.getCredentials('speech_to_text') // pulls credentials from environment in bluemix, otherwise returns {}
    );
    const sttAuthService = new AuthorizationV1(sttCredentials);
    return Observable.create((observer) => {
      sttAuthService.getToken(function(err, response) {
        if (err) {
          console.log('Error retrieving token: ', err);
          observer.error('Error retrieving token...');
        } else {
          const token = response.token || response;
          if (params.speechToTextIamApikey) {
            observer.next({ accessToken: token, url: sttCredentials.url });
          } else {
            observer.next({ token: token, url: sttCredentials.url });
          }
          observer.complete();
        }
      });  
    });
  }  
}

Expect it to return a token.

Authentication changed in v5. See MIGRATION-V5

The SDK service constructors now accept Authenticator objects that are used to authenticate requests. The constructors no longer accept individual credentials like username and password.

Here's an example from the API reference.

const SpeechToTextV1 = require('ibm-watson/speech-to-text/v1');
const { IamAuthenticator } = require('ibm-watson/auth');

const speechToText = new SpeechToTextV1({
  authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
    apikey: '{apikey}',
  }),
  url: '{url}',
});
