WAAPI doesn't accept file paths on mac [closed]

Question

Hello, I'm trying to optimize my workflow by building a WAAPI nodejs app. Unfortunately Wwise throws an error when I try to call the import method with a path on a local hard drive.

 

Here is my code

function importSound(session){

  var path = "Y:\\Game\\Audio\\Wwise\\Game\\Originals\\intros\\"

  var newImport = {
    importOperation: "createNew",
    default: {
      importLanguage: "SFX"
    },
    imports: [
      {
        objectPath: "\\Actor-Mixer Hierarchy\\journey\\stages\\calibration",
        audioFile: path + 'intro1.wav',
        //"@Volume": 0.42
      },
      {
        objectPath: "\\Actor-Mixer Hierarchy\\journey\\stages\\calibration",
        audioFile: path + 'intro2.wav',
        //"@Volume": 0.1
      }
    ]
  }

  console.log(newImport)

  session.call('ak.wwise.core.object.import', [], newImport ).then(
    function(res) {
      console.log(res)
    },
    function (error) {
      console.log('error: ', error);
    }
  ).then(
    function() {
      connection.close();
    }
  );
}

The error that I get is the following

error:  Error {
  error: 'ak.wwise.invalid_procedure_uri',
  args: [],
  kwargs: {
    message: 'The procedure URI is unknown.',
    details: { procedureUri: 'ak.wwise.core.object.import' }
  }
}

 

I'm working on a mac (Silicon) using Wwise 2022.1.0 and the NodeJS library. I also tried writing the calls in Python but that didn't work either (I get the same error). I'm pretty sure that my files are located in the right folder. I checked multiple times based on the suggestion from the documentation.

Here is the location of my project -> (Y:\Game\Audio\Wwise\Game\Game.wproj).

This is the path to the file on my mac -> (Macintosh HD > Users > studio > Game > Audio > Wwise > Game > Originals > intros > intro1.wav)

And here is the path that I'm sending through WAAPI -> ("Y:\\Game\\Audio\\Wwise\\Game\\Originals\\intros\\intro1.wav")

I wonder what I'm missing here.

 

Thanks

I believe the error in this case has to do with the URI you are using (ak.wwise.core.object.import).

The correct URI would be : ak.wwise.core.audio.import

An easy mistake to make!
