Firebase Storage: Invalid argument in `put` at index 0: Expected Blob or File

Question

I make a simple audio recording web app using Firebase Hosting. I would like to record audio on browser and upload it to Cloud Storage. When I deploy and access my app, I can record audio. However the app failed to upload the audio to Cloud Storage.

(I use Windows 10, Windows Subsystems for Linux, Debian 10.3 and Google Chrome browser. )

This is an error message in browser's console.

Uncaught 
h
code: (...)
code_: "storage/invalid-argument"
message: (...)
message_: "Firebase Storage: Invalid argument in `put` at index 0: Expected Blob or File."
name: (...)
name_: "FirebaseError"
serverResponse: (...)
serverResponse_: null
__proto__: Object

This is a screenshot of browser's console.

This is index.html.

Could you give me any advices? Thank you in advice.

I don't know much about the.wav file but you seem to be trying to store an object instead of a blob or a file that Firebase Storage is expecting. Try creating a var blob = recordAudio.getBlob() and replace file in your put() function with blob instead.
