I am attempting to get an object from a REST API using a javascript Promise. The issue I am running into is the promise will not resolve unless I am debugging and use a breakpoint. I know there are several questions posted regarding this issue but none seem to provide an answer, so I am trying again. Here is my code (NOTE: placing a breakpoint at "return values" causes the promise to populate the values object EVERY TIME. Without the breakpoint the object NEVER gets populated.)

function GetSession(userClient, userId) {

  var user = { userId: '', name: ''};
  
  userClient.session.get(userId)
    .then(function(result) {
      user.userId = result.userId;
      user.name = result.name;
    })
    .catch(err => alert(err));
  
  return user;
}

Anyone have any ideas why this fails when not debugging?
