Promises and async/await never resolve #36

Closed andyholmes closed 4 years ago

Promises and async/await never resolve in jasmine tests. I believe this because jasmine-gjs uses a nested GMainLoop to run tests, while Promises are probably being queued in the outermost event loop.

In GJS, nested main loops will necessarily block the containing loop until g_main_loop_quit() is called, so any Promises will timeout. I'm also guessing the reason GTask async functions do work, is because they're smart enough to use the innermost loop to queue their GAsyncReadyCallback sources.

Sorry, I think this is totally wrong, and I'm not sure why async functions aren't resolving.
