Interaction with Cloud Storage is performed using the official Node.js Client library.
Output of an external executable (ffmpeg) through fluent-ffmpeg is piped to a writable stream of a Google Cloud Storage object using [createWriteStream].(https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/storage/latest/File.html#createWriteStream).
Executable (ffmpeg) can end with an error. In this case the file is created on Cloud Storage with 0 length.
I want to abort uploading on the command error to avoid finalizing an empty storage object.

What is the proper way of aborting the upload stream?

Current code (just an excerpt):

ffmpeg()
    .input(sourceFile.createReadStream())
    .output(destinationFile.createWriteStream())
    .run();

Not sure about aborting the stream, but you can check the non-zero return code of FFmpeg process for a failed FFmpeg run to trigger deleting the 0-byte file. – kesh Mar 15 '22 at 16:52
Thanks, as a workaround might be suitable. Yet still I hope there is a way of aborting the upload operation. – AKd Mar 15 '22 at 18:00
