Hi,

I have successfully tested this

class HelloWorld extends workflow_es.StepBody {
    async run(context) {
        console.log("Hello World");
        await doSomethingAsync();
        return workflow_es.ExecutionResult.next();
    }
}

@danielgerlag between steps, is a step will waiting for the previous step finished with async?

[danielgerlag]

yes it does, but if you call an async method or promise from within the step and don't await it, then it can't know about it

[twilroad]

so, it can not await for async method

[danielgerlag]

as you can see here:

https://github.com/danielgerlag/workflow-es/blob/master/core/src/services/workflow-executor.ts#L73

it does in fact await, but if you fail to await any nested async methods inside your step implementation, then it's your choice
