Bad argument for fluent-ffmpeg video compression at ChildProcess.spawn()

I am using fluent-ffmpeg library in node.js in Firebase for compressing videos uploaded by users through an android app, but the following code yield an error :



ffmpeg(tempFilePath).videoBitrate('1000k', true)
.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('An error occurred: ' + err.message);
})
.on('end', function() {
console.log('Processing finished !');
})
.save(compressedVideoFilePath);


The error is:



TypeError: Bad argument
at TypeError (native)
at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:303:26)
at exports.spawn (child_process.js:370:9)

at Object.waterfall (/user_code/node_modules/fluent-ffmpeg/node_modules/async/dist/async.js:5334:5)


The tempFilePath is from downloading the user uploaded file onto the temp folder of firebase (/tmp/test-4d68b02f-a6ef-4ff3-a5c9-52687fd3f0c4.mp4):



const tempFilePath = path.join(os.tmpdir(), filePath);
destBucket.file(filePath).download({
destination: tempFilePath // Download the file to destFilePath
}


While the compressedVideoFilePath is the destination I want the compressed file to be saved (/tmp/compressed-test-4d68b02f-a6ef-4ff3-a5c9-52687fd3f0c4.mp4):



var compressedVideoFilePath = path.join(path.dirname(tempFilePath),"compressed-" + path.basename(tempFilePath));


After the compressed file is saved, I would upload the file to firebase storage with (But probably this is not the place that caused the error):



destBucket.upload(compressedVideoFilePath, {
destination: 'compressed-' + path.basename(filePath),
metadata: metadata
})


I don't know how to fix it, any one knows why this keeps happening? Thanks. :)
