TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'publish') at RaspiCam.<anonymous> (/home/pi/wia-pi-camera/run-camera.js:26:13)

I've been trying to fix this error for two days now, it seems to happen at: wia.event.publish. The picture is taken successfully but publishing an event seems to be an issue.

'use strict';

const Wia = require('wia');
var wia = new Wia('my-device-secret-key');
var fs = require('fs');
var RaspiCam = require("raspicam");

// Setup the camera
var camera = new RaspiCam({
  mode: 'photo',
  output: __dirname + '/photo.jpg',
  encoding: 'jpg'
});

// Listen for the "start" event triggered when the start method has been successfully initiated
camera.on("start", function(){
  console.log("Starting to take photo.");
});

// Listen for the "read" event triggered when each new photo/video is saved
camera.on("read", function(err, timestamp, filename){
  console.log("New photo created.", timestamp, filename);

  // Publish the photo to Wia
  wia.event.publish({
    name: 'photo',
    file:  fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/' + filename)
  });
});

// Take a photo
camera.start();
