Fetch response is Promise pending but already fullfilled

I'm using the fetch module on Javascript to get a JSON object from my server, but the return value is a Promise {<pending>} that has two attributes.

One is [[PromiseState]]: "fullfilled"

The other is [[PromiseResult]]: Array(1), which has my JSON response as first item in the array.

How can I retrieve my JSON object in some way? I think the best way would be "completing" the Promise but I'm using async/await with the fetch module; I already tried switching to then/catch but the result of the "then" part is still the same pending Promise.

The async/await code is the following:

(async function () {
  const result = await fetch("http://localhost:5000/check", {
    method: "GET",
  });
  
  console.log(result.json());
})();

[There's no such thing as a "JSON Object"](http://benalman.com/news/2010/03/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-json/) – Andreas Nov 08 '20 at 16:28
You got me, I meant JSON, period. Sorry – Fsanna Nov 08 '20 at 16:29

The `.json` call is what returns a Promise, you need to await *it* instead of the double awaits around the `fetch` – CertainPerformance Nov 08 '20 at 16:29
@Andreas shoot, I forgot to delete that first await, that was a thing I was trying to solve the problem, obviously without success. Sorry for the second time – Fsanna Nov 08 '20 at 16:30
@CertainPerformance that was it, thanks! – Fsanna Nov 08 '20 at 16:31
