Async Client?

[cedricbastin]

This sample code doesn't work in my AWS Lambda:

var client = new AWS.NodeHttpClient();
console.log("client:", client)
// returns "client: {}"

client.handleRequest(req, null, function(httpResp) {
    console.log("this never gets called")
}

This posts mentions something about an async Client but I'm not sure where to put the await?

@cedricbastin I'm having this same issue, were you able to figure it out?

I played around with the async/await options, changed the timeout for the lambda function (cause mine is moving slightly bigger data), and still haven't figured out why. This is weird because a test event works for me when I do the S3 bucket test event, but it doesn't work when ran regularly by doing a natural event to an S3 bucket.

@wawo9193 I ended up using another client:

import { HttpClient, Signers } from "aws-sdk";

public postToES(record: string): Promise<any> {
    var http = new HttpClient();
    
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        http.handleRequest(
            req,
            null,
            (response: any) => {
                //do stuff
            },
            (err: any) => {
                this.log.error(err);
                reject(err);
            }
        );
    });
}

// call method:
await this.postToES(record)
