SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function #366

Open karl0ss opened 4 years ago

karl0ss commented 4 years ago

Using your example on npmjs.org

const drivelist = require('drivelist');

const drives = await drivelist.list();
console.log(drives);

Gives me

const drives = await drivelist.list();
               ^^^^^

Only seems to work is i wrap in a async function 

const drivelist = require('drivelist');

async function test () {
const drives = await drivelist.list();
console.log(drives);
}

test()
