My Function returns "[object Promise]" as result(after timeout). But when the function is-CodePudding

I tried it without the timeout, without transfering the steamID into a string (both "Cannot send an empty message")an some more. But I haven't gotten any further for like 30 minutes.

(vanityURL = input)

My Function(The API is completly working):

const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const botconfig = require("../botconfig.json")

async function getSteamID(vanityURL) {

    const response = await fetch(`https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/ResolveVanityURL/v1/?key=${botconfig.steamapikey}&vanityurl=${vanityURL}`);
    const data = await response.json();

    const listDataRaw = JSON.stringify(data);
    const listData = listDataRaw.toString();

    var steamID = listData.replace(/{"response":{"steamid":"|","success":1}}/g, "") // Filter
    console.log(steamID)

    return steamID;
}

module.exports = { getSteamID }

My test command:

const getSteamInfo = require('../functions/getSteamInfo');

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
    var vanityURL = args.join(' ')


    const rawSteamID = getSteamInfo.getSteamID(vanityURL);

    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));
    let steamID = rawSteamID.toString();
    message.channel.send(steamID)



};

module.exports.command = {
    name: `test`
}

Thanks for help!

CodePudding user response：

Just put "await" const rawSteamID = await getSteamInfo.getSteamID(vanityURL);

and see it is working

CodePudding user response：

You forgot to await your call to getSteamInfo.getSteamID.

(You also forgot to await the call to message.channel.send so right now any errors thrown by it would turn into an unhandled rejection.)

const getSteamInfo = require('../functions/getSteamInfo');

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
    const vanityURL = args.join(' ')

    const rawSteamID = await getSteamInfo.getSteamID(vanityURL)
    //                 ^^^^^

    const steamID = rawSteamID.toString() // not sure this is even needed...?
    await message.channel.send(steamID)
    //^^^
}

module.exports.command = {
    name: `test`
}
