      @magmirusr you will have to do promise.then in the non-async method to wait for the data

        Hence I’ve utilized async capacities to get the information.

        It’s turned out great however when I send it back to my main.js record it shows up as a Promise and I can’t handle the information.
        Thanks.

          case "CASE_1":
            scrape("...").then((text) => {
              this.sendSocketNotification("text", text)
            })
            break
          

          Or

          case "CASE_1"
            const AsyncJob = async () => {
              var text = await scrape("...")
              this.sendSocketNotification("text", text) 
            }
            AsyncJob()
            break
