When using Sequelize transactions with async await is it OK to return a promise?












0















Assume that I have a table called Item with a field called "name". There is a unique key constraint on the name field. Why would these two functions behave differently when calling them with await? The only difference is that one awaits before destroying the item, while the other returns the promise of destruction. Shouldn't these uses be identical?



const createAndDestroyWorksFine = async (name) => {
await Item.create({ name })
const item = await Item.findOne({ where: { name } });
await item.destroy();
}

const createAndDestroyCausesError = async (name) => {
await Item.create({ name })
const item = await Item.findOne({ where: { name } });
return item.destroy();
}

async function test() {
// this works
await transaction(createAndDestroyWorksFine('item'));
await transaction(createAndDestroyWorksFine('item'));

// this fails often, with a duplicate key error
await transaction(createAndDestroyCausesError('item'));
await transaction(createAndDestroyCausesError('item'));
}

test()
