无法使用 googleapis 从 Google Drive 下载文件

Question

So I'm trying to download the file from google drive using googleapis V3 but its showing me error of Property 'on' does not exist on type 'GaxiosPromise<Schema$File>'.

Here's my Code

var fileId ='FILE_ID'
const drive = google.drive({ version: 'v3', auth });
drive.files.get({
   fileId: fileId,
   alt: 'media'
})
.on('end', function () {    // error here
   console.log('Done');
})
.on('error', function (err) {
  console.log('Error during download', err);
})
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(`./static/upload/${fileName}`));

follow this code here https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/manage-downloads

I had a similar issue, I think there's another issue around for it somewhere but as far as I can remember you need to use the response object to pipe the writestream,ie

drive.files.get({fileId: fileId, alt: 'media'}, {responseType: "stream"}, (err, res) => {
  if (err) {
    //   handle error
  } else {
    res.data
      .on("end", function () {
        console.log("Done");
      })
      .on("error", function (err) {
        console.log("Error during download", err);
      })
      .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(`./static/upload/${fileName}`));
  }
});
