I have a user in my google admin console with the email dog@jopfre.com. I can auth successfully and add and delete users using the api. Now I am trying to update the user using the api. Here is a simplified version of my code: 

  const admin = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
  admin.users.update({
    userKey: "dog@jopfre.com",
    requestBody: {
      primaryEmail: "cat@jopfre.com"  
    }
  },(err, data) => {
    console.log(err || data);
  });

This returns json of the request and a 200 status.

The nearest example I can find in the docs is this:

admin.members.insert({
    groupKey: 'my_group@example.com',
    requestBody: { email: 'me@example.com' },
    auth: jwt
  }, (err, data) => {
    console.log(err || data);
  });

So it looks pretty similar to me. I have tried with and without quotation marks on the requestBody key and have also tried updating different key values like givenName and suspended. I'm guessing my request is malformed somehow but I can't work out how as no error is returned. Any clue or ideas of what to try next? Here are some of the more relevant lines from the returned json:

status: 200,
params: { requestBody:  { primaryEmail: 'cat@jopfre.com' } },
_hasBody: true,
header: 'PUT /admin/directory/v1/users/dog@jopfre.com?requestBody%5BprimaryEmail%5D=cat%40jopfre.com HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept: application/json, text/plain, */*\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nAuthorization: Bearer ya29.GlwXBi796knRrOTbzvJ1ihzBaQqHKk3HYA9-3pxUgCxaCvPKxZLYGRrghq_RcFHbZYqyKEqUV6yOWusBui2Vh1DLd50MsKQ5o4MoqzutVr8P280ULY2cYzSYLtGOyw\r\nUser-Agent: google-api-nodejs-client/1.6.1\r\nHost: www.googleapis.com\r\nConnection: close\r\nContent-Length: 0\r\n\r\n',
path: '/admin/directory/v1/users/dog@jopfre.com?requestBody%5BprimaryEmail%5D=cat%40jopfre.com',
responseUrl: 'https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users/dog@jopfre.com?requestBody%5BprimaryEmail%5D=cat%40jopfre.com',
_requestBodyLength: 0,

Not sure if the requestBodyLength should be 0, that seems off.

Using resource instead of requestBody works in v33.0.0 of googleapis. 

 const admin = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
  admin.users.update({
    userKey: "dog@jopfre.com",
    resource: {
      primaryEmail: "cat@jopfre.com"  
    }
  },(err, data) => {
    console.log(err || data);
  });

Effective release of googleapis version 30.0.0 resource and requestBody are equally accepted. Below are working examples for users.insert, users.list, users.update, users.get and users.delete functions, all tested with googleapis version 30.0.0

async function insertUser(auth) {
    const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    console.log("Inserting user");
    const response = await service.users.insert({
    "requestBody":{
        "name": {
        "familyName": "Friends",
        "givenName": "John Smith",
        },
        "password": "**********",
        "primaryEmail": "j.smith@jopfre.com",
    }
    })
    // Log the results here.
    console.log(`status: ${response.status}\nprimary email: ${response.data.primaryEmail}\nupdated familyName: ${response.data.name.fullName}`)
    console.log("\n"); // insert a line break.
}

async function listUsers(auth) {
    console.log('Listing users')
    const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    const response  = await service.users.list({
        customer: 'my_customer',
        maxResults: 150,
        orderBy: 'email',
    })
    const users = response.data.users;
    if (users.length) {
        console.log('Users:');

        users.forEach((user) => {
            console.log(`${user.primaryEmail} -(${user.name.fullName})`);
        });
    } else {
        console.log('No users found.');
    }
    console.log("\n"); // insert a line break.
}

async function updateUserInfo(auth) {
    console.log('Updating user info')
    const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    const response = await service.users.update({
        "userKey": "j.smith@jopfre.com",
        "requestBody": {
        "name": {
            "familyName": "Work"
            },
        "primaryEmail": "john.smith@jopfre.com"
        }
    })
    // Log the results here.
    console.log('User info is updated successfully')
    console.log(`status: ${response.status}, prime email: ${response.data.primaryEmail} updated familyName: ${response.data.name.familyName}`)
    for (i = 0; i < response.data.emails.length; i++) {
        console.log(`address: ${response.data.emails[i]["address"]}`)
    }
    console.log("\n"); // insert a line break.
}

async function getUserMeta(auth) {
    console.log('Getting user info')
    const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    const response = await service.users.get({
        "userKey" : "j.smith@jopfre.com"
    })
    console.log('User info is obtained successfully')
    console.log(`primary email: ${response.primaryEmail}, full name: ${response.data.name.fullName}`)
    console.log("\n"); // insert a line break.
}

async function deleteUser(auth) {
    console.log('Deleting user')
    const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    const response =  await service.users.delete({
        "userKey" : "j.smith@jopfre.com"
    })
    if (response.data == "") {
        console.log("User is deleted successfully");
    }
}
