how to make async work with async/await

var async = require('async');

var workPool = async.queue(async (task, taskComplete)=>{
  console.log(1, taskComplete);

  async.retry(3, async (retryComplete)=>{

    console.log(2, retryComplete);
    // retryComplete(null, task);

  });
});

workPool.push("test");

I wonder why i got this result:

$ node test.js
1 undefined
2 undefined

@pawelotto I think for that you can use node promisify util, I didn’t test but since the main callback function signature is compatible I assume it will work.

So the example above will become (without handling error):

import async from "async"
import {promisify} from "util"

const promiseMapLimit = promisify(async.mapLimit)
const results = await promiseMapLimit(files, async file => { // <- no callback!
    const text = await util.promisify(fs.readFile)(dir + file, 'utf8')
    const body = JSON.parse(text) // <- a parse error herre will be caught automatically
    if (!(await checkValidity(body))) {
        throw new Error(`${file} has invalid contents`) // <- this error will also be caught
    }
    return body // <- return a value!
})

Maybe you can try neo-async
