nodejs async await/async not working as expected










0














This is my code, it is supposed to get the query result back from findRecords function before execute the next line.



const FsPool = module.exports = function(dir) 
events.EventEmitter.call(this)
this.dir = dirpath;
this.files = ;
this.active = ;
this.threads = 1;
this.on('run', this.runQuta.bind(this))
;
// So will act like an event emitter
util.inherits(FsPool, events.EventEmitter);

FsPool.prototype.runQuta = function()
if (this.files.length === 0 && this.active.length === 0)
return this.emit('done');

if (this.active.length < this.threads)
const name = this.files.shift()

this.active.push(name)
const fileName = path.join(this.dir, name);
const self = this;
fs.stat(fileName, function(err, stats)
if (err)
throw err;
if (stats.isFile())
fs.readFile(fileName, function(err, data)
if (err)
throw err;
self.active.splice(self.active.indexOf(name), 1)
self.emit('file', name, data);
self.emit('run');

);
else
self.active.splice(self.active.indexOf(name), 1)
self.emit('dir', name);
self.emit('run');

);

return this
;
FsPool.prototype.init = function()
const dir = dirpath;
const self = this;
fs.readdir(dir, function(err, files)
if (err)
throw err;
self.files = files
self.emit('run');
)
return this
;
const fsPool = new FsPool(__dirname)

fsPool.on('file', async function(fileName, fileData)
//console.log('file name: ' + fileName);
//console.log('file data: ', fileData.toString('utf8'));

let nctid = fileName.split('.');
nctid = nctid[0];
console.log(nctid);

getData(fileData.toString('utf8'), function(returnValue)
fs.writeFile(fpath + nctid + '.json', returnValue.trim(), 'utf8', function (err)
if (err)
return console.log(err);

console.log("The file was saved!");
);
);



})

fsPool.on('dir', function(dirName)
console.log('dir name: ' + dirName);

)
fsPool.on('done', function()
console.log('done');
);

const findRecords = (collection, myobj) =>
return new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
collection.find(myobj).toArray((err, data) =>
if (err)
console.error(`Cannot find records: $err`)
reject('error');
else
console.log(`Record count: $data.length`)
resolve(data)

)
);



function getData(data, callback)
let jsonO =
"results": ,
"Spots": ,
"SpotsC":
;

let jsonspot = ;
let jsonspotC = ;
let json = ;

json.push();

const main = async () =>

let readFileContent = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(parseXML(data)));
readFileContent = readFileContent.clinical_study;

//Spot (city level) and SpotC (country level)
let lengthdata = 1;
let country = '';
let city = '';
let state = '';
let name = '';
let keyidx = 0;
if (readFileContent.hasOwnProperty('location'))

for (let c = 0, len = lengthdata; c < len; c++) ' + state + '


jsonO["results"] = json;
jsonO["Spots"] = jsonspot;
jsonO["SpotsC"] = jsonspotC;

callback(JSON.stringify(jsonO));

main().catch(console.error);



Here is the result I got:

  • I think there's something else going on here that you're not showing us because the await you're asking about should pause the for loop just fine as long as you're awaiting a promise.
