how to do while with promise?

Question

i have logic with promise with while it do promsie with name if it found it I want that the promise will call again with new name ( name + index) The problem after the first promise it called it didn't continue to the next while and return from the function. What is wring ?

       var result = true;
       var that = this;
       var name = "testFoler";
       while (result) {
            var index = 0;
            return that.context.doPromise(name).then(function(promiseResult) {
                if (promiseResult === null){
                    return Q(name)
                } else {
                    index++;
                    name = name + index
                }
            });

Well you are passing "reuslt" as parameter which certainly does not exist.

That's irrelevant, OP has an actual issue. – Benjamin Gruenbaum Aug 09 '15 at 12:21

Sorry my mistake I fixed it result it just fro the loop – user1365697 Aug 09 '15 at 12:23
@Andy a typo is irrelevant – Jaromanda X Aug 09 '15 at 12:24
How about if the typo is causing an error that is preventing the code from going any further? – Andy Aug 09 '15 at 12:26
@Andy they are right there is a problem with the promise. So it wasn't the main issue. Sorry for the hasty answer. – Aug 09 '15 at 12:31
