Why This Happens
Calling an async function without 'await' does not execute it. It creates a coroutine object that is immediately discarded. The function body never runs.
The Problem
async def save(data):
print(f'Saving {data}')
async def main():
save('test') # Missing await!
asyncio.run(main())The Fix
async def save(data):
print(f'Saving {data}')
async def main():
await save('test')
asyncio.run(main())Step-by-Step Fix
- 1
Add await
Put 'await' before every async function call.
- 2
Check all async calls
Search for calls to async functions missing await.
- 3
Use asyncio.create_task()
For concurrent execution: asyncio.create_task(coro()).
