Using async calls in hubot scripts about hubot

What you showed me solved my problem. I frequently struggle with JS syntax. Thanks for the help!

It's hard to tell without seeing all of the code, but the one thought that comes to mind is that const response = await ecsClient.send(command); is not within an async function, it's "just out in the main script".

What I mean is I would expect the code to look something like the following:

export default async robot => {
  robot.respond(/ecs command (.*)/, async res => {
    ....
    const response await ecsClient.send(command);
  })
}

See how the robot.respond 2nd argument is an async function and the await call is being done inside that scope? Where is ecsClient.send(command) being executed in the scope of the script? Is the top level scope? or inside the scope of an async function?
