I'm having a bit of an issue with an error dealing with promises.
So initially I had my function set up like this, and it all worked fine, no problems.

Original:

const request = require(request-promise);

async () => {

  const URL_HIDDEN = ...;



  let info = await request(URL_HIDDEN);

  info = JSON.parse(info).response.players[0];



  let playtime = await request(URL_HIDDEN);

  playtime = JSON.parse(playtime).response.games;



  console.log(info);

  console.log(playtime);

}

This is a shortened version, but basically I am just requesting information from the Steam API. Both the variables get print out with all the data no problem, but that changes once I do the refactor below.

Refactored:

const middleware = require(../middleware);

async () => {

  const URL_HIDDEN = ...;



  let requests = middleware.requestURI(URL_HIDDEN);

  console.log(requests);

}

and I started doing all the request handling in a separate function in a separate file.

const request = require(request-promise);

middlewareObj.requestURI = async (URL_HIDDEN) => {

  console.log(1);

  let info = await request(URL_HIDDEN);

  info = JSON.parse(info).response.players[0];



  console.log(2);



  let playtime = await request(URL_HIDDEN);

  playtime = JSON.parse(playtime).response.games;



  console.log(3);



  return [{ info }, { playtime }];

};

Once I got all the variables sorted out I want to return an array. However, once executed I get this printed to the console.

Promise { <pending> }

Any idea why it's printing promise pending once I refactored it?

In the original it prints out everything perfectly fine
