False positive on awaiting require()d async function

SonarQube Cloud

1

Product used: SonarCloud
Language: JavaScript (Node)
Rule: [javascript:S4123] “await” should only be used with promises

When you require() an async function from another module, SonarCloud seems unaware that it is async, and therefore flags it as a code smell when you await it.

index.js

const foo = require('./foo');

(async () => {
  console.log(await foo()); // SonarCloud complains here
)();

foo.js

module.exports = async () => 'foo';

Hello,

I created a project with these 2 files and I didn’t manage to reproduce. Could you check if there is something else missing?
If you project is public, you could provide the link to FP

Regards,
Elena
