“The promise APIs use the underlying Node.js threadpool to perform file system operations off the event loop thread. These operations are not synchronized or threadsafe. Care must be taken when performing multiple concurrent modifications on the same file or data corruption may occur.”

I’ve learned javascript async/await before learning promise.then() syntax, and I am now attempting to go back and learn promise.then().

there is no await on top-level allowed and my expectation was that the error thrown below would be logged as warning only but it turns out to be a blocker for completion, i.e. upon statement await fsProm.stat the processing basically stops. I would not understand why?
