Having this small Lambda-Function:
module.exports.handler = async( data , ctx, cb) => {
console.log("start");
createSth();
};
async function resolveAfter2Seconds(x) {
console.log("in function: " + x);
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve(x);
}, 2000);
});
}
async function createSth() {
var x = await resolveAfter2Seconds(10);
console.log(x); // 10
}
I would have expted the following output
start
in function: 10
10
But I only get
start
in function: 10
So everything after var x = await resolveAfter2Seconds(10); is not executed.
It works outside of aws lambda in a similar setup.
Thanks.
Add await keyword while calling createSth function. This will allow main function to wait for the execution of the function and won't return
i.e.
module.exports.handler = async( data , ctx, cb) => {
console.log("start");
await createSth();
};
