Expected Behavior

When i run electron with the following code, it should not log test to the console:

const { setTimeout } = require("timers/promises");

async function main() {
  await setTimeout(100);
  process.exit();
  console.log("test");
}

main()

Actual Behavior

test is logged to the console.
So process.exit() doeas return wenn called in an async function after an await.
The same code un in node will not log test.

@IIIMADDINIII see #32831 - this has been tried before and is unfortunately a pretty tricky problem!

[IIIMADDINIII]

Interestingly i can not reproduce the mentioned issue #32060 in #32831 with the provided Gist (https://gist.github.com/RaisinTen/ced9932fd0d76dd30ec72758bc18bc51) in Electron Fiddle and Electron v28.3.0.

I will try the Solution of the Pull Request #32831 locally.

Adding a status/won't fix, see above comments 🙇 The current proposed solution involves a breaking change that will likely cause more problems than it fixes (#32831).

Closing in agreement with above.
