I have a Lambda function reaching out to DynamoDB, utilizing promises. I get no errors, but the function doesn't move past the call to Dynamo. Similar questions I have found seemed to be resolved by using promises, so I feel this is a new question.
I have tried using promises with then statements to wait on DynamoDB to return data. I receive no errors, but my last log statement is right before the call to dynamo.
Here is my dynamo helper function:
let AWS = require("aws-sdk");
let dynamo = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({
region: 'us-east-1'
});
//let dynamo = new AWS.DynamoDB() //This may get rid of the execption but gotta make it work. Think I have to wrap the data witht the types in dynamo
//let dynamoPromise = dynamo.promise()
let dynamoHelper = function() {
return {
putObject: function(tableName, object) { //,callback I took callback out of the params
let params = {
"TableName": tableName,
"Item": object
};
let dynamoPromise = dynamo.put(params).promise()
return dynamoPromise;
},
getRoom: function(tableName, deviceId) { //,callback I took callback out of the params
console.log("inside the dynamoHelper.getRoom function")
let params = {
"TableName": tableName,
"Key": {
"deviceId": deviceId
},
"AttributesToGet": [
"roomNumber"
]
};
let dynamoPromise = dynamo.get(params).promise() //?
console.log("After the get call to dynamo still inside dynamo helper")
return dynamoPromise;
}
}
}();
module.exports = dynamoHelper;
Here is where I call it in index.js:
let dynamoGetPromise = dynamoHelper.getRoom(config.room_lookup_dynamodb_table, deviceId) //took the callback out of the args and put it in then. Will have to do the same for the one that is contained inside the then.
dynamoGetPromise
.then(
function(data) {
console.log("Data: " + JSON.stringify(data));
if ('Item' in data) {
roomNumber = data.Item.roomNumber;
} else {
roomNumber = 9999;
}
...........
That console.log("Data: " + JSON.stringify(data));
statement is never reached,
but -again- no errors. Shouldn't be a timeout issue as my Lambda output says billed duration is only 700ms...
Here is my lambda output:

Thanks for any help!
Update:
Added a catch statement directly to the dynamo.get call, and still no more info:
let dynamoPromise = dynamo.get(params).promise().catch(function(reason){console.log("Reason: " + reason)});
Update2:
Tried getting rid of the IIFE, and turning them into async functions held in an object. Same results.
Tried @alex067's suggestion below, but same results.
Update3:
I have solved ~90% of my issue using async/await.
