NodeJS getting Promise result from Console

Question

If I want to get the result of a Promise from my node-testing console, how would I do that?

eg.

let promise = new Promise(() => {
  console.log('my promise');
}
promise.then(() => { console.log('resolved') })
// returns a Promise {<pending>}

await promise.then(() => { console.log('resolved') })
// still returns just a Promise

(async () => {
    await promise
})()
// still returns ... just a Promise

Ultimately I'm trying to test promise results (database queries) from my node console at a breakpoint, and I just keep getting Promises returned.

UPDATE - I guess this is more complicated than I thought. Because know one has been able to answer.

I understand how to get the results of a promise in a regular environment. I'm talking about getting results at a breakpoint while debugging a Node application. To connect to the console I'm referring to please follow these directions: https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-with-chrome-devtools-7c4a1b95ae27

From the console in DevTools, promises keep returning Promise {}. I do not know if it is possible to get the value of the promise, but if anyone knows either way please let me know.

Answer 1

when you create a promise object you should use this syntax

var promiseObj = new Promise(executor);

the executor is a function with this signature

function(resolutionFunc, rejectionFunc){
    // typically, some asynchronous operation.
} 

When we go back to your specific example, you can define it as

let promise = new Promise( resolve => {
    resolve("my promise")
})

Note I havent added the reject function

then you can do

promise.then(value => console.log(value))
