Everything is printed out properly, yet when i try to return the info nothing is returned, i only see a whitespace.

` function YT_get_song_info(link){

let video_id = get_id_from_youtube_link(link);

let fetchVideoInfo = require('youtube-info');

fetchVideoInfo(video_id, function (err, videoInfo) {

    if (err) throw new Error(err);

    return(videoInfo);

});

Hi there,

Please review your code. As it stands it will not work.

A couple of pointers:

  1. I don't think calling return(videoInfo) as a function is intended.
  2. Returning the video info in the callback function will not output the results anywhere. You could use console.log(videoInfo) instead of the return to print the result to stdout.

Good luck!
