Support question - why do promises magically run synchronously

[ORESoftware]

Forgive me, I am a bit of newb with Karma + Jasmine

I am sure there is an simple answer to this.

I have the following Jasmine code with Karma:

    it('should update a comment by 59dd58092889e25745b6b208', function () {

      //expectGET to make sure this is called once.
      var url = encodeURI('/api/v1/comments/by_id/59dd58092889e25745b6b208');

      httpBackend.expectPUT(url, options1.data).respond(comments1);

      console.log('uno');

      myService.updateComment(options1.data).then(function (response) {
        expect(response.value).to.equal(comments1[0].value);
        console.log('dos');
      });

      //flush the backend to "execute" the request to do the expectedGET assertion.
      httpBackend.flush();

      console.log('tres');

    });

Expected behaviour

I would expect it to log:

LOG LOG: 'uno'
LOG LOG: 'tres'
LOG LOG: 'dos'

Actual behaviour

LOG LOG: 'uno'
LOG LOG: 'dos'
LOG LOG: 'tres'

Environment Details

• Karma version (output of karma --version):
• Relevant part of your karma.config.js file

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

See screenshot:

yeah, I think the Karma logger will on rare occasion log things out of order, that's not good

because I run it now, and it logs it correctly.

Maybe improve the logging order, idk, will close

Async code in tests requires different test API.

Try

it('should update a comment by 59dd58092889e25745b6b208', function () {

      //expectGET to make sure this is called once.
      var url = encodeURI('/api/v1/comments/by_id/59dd58092889e25745b6b208');

      httpBackend.expectPUT(url, options1.data).respond(comments1);

      console.log('uno');

      var promise = myService.updateComment(options1.data).then(function (response) {
        expect(response.value).to.equal(comments1[0].value);
        console.log('dos');
      });

      //flush the backend to "execute" the request to do the expectedGET assertion.
      httpBackend.flush();

      console.log('tres');
      return promise;

or

    it('should update a comment by 59dd58092889e25745b6b208', function (done) {

      //expectGET to make sure this is called once.
      var url = encodeURI('/api/v1/comments/by_id/59dd58092889e25745b6b208');

      httpBackend.expectPUT(url, options1.data).respond(comments1);

      console.log('uno');

      myService.updateComment(options1.data).then(function (response) {
        expect(response.value).to.equal(comments1[0].value);
        console.log('dos');
        done();
      });

      //flush the backend to "execute" the request to do the expectedGET assertion.
      httpBackend.flush();

      console.log('tres');
