Rust async function stuck indefinitely when called from js about boa

Remember that all tokio futures must be polled by a tokio executor to progress. The default job executor doesn't use an async executor, it only blocks on all future jobs.

If you need this functionality, you'd have to override the JobQueue and use a thread-local tokio executor to push all futures forward.

Good! Also, remember to call run_jobs_async to push the futures forward, or else the context will just evaluate the code without evaluating any of the futures and promises

Ok makes sense, thanks for the help :). Will try it out, if I get something working will create a PR adding an example.

Will close this since the original question was resolved.
