I'm trying to make a method that runs as an async method. The problem is the longest part is not 'awaitable' (not support the 'await' keyword ). I based my code using this link: here.
Some parts in my code have taken from Postman - HTTP POST to an API.
private async Task<byte[]> PostRequestToOptiRoutesAsync()
{
string urlCallBack = u.Trim(this.URLAchzraR4M);
var client = new RestClient(u.Trim(PrmtrimGlobliim_407_2.Mchrozt));
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("hfd_xml", u.Trim(BlovXMLBkshaOPT).Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\t", ""));
request.AddParameter("link", urlCallBack);
//UNTIL HERE - IT IS SYNC CODE AND NOT RELEVANT
//FROM HERE - THE POST TO THE API
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); // client.Execute is not awaitable - THE PROBLEMATIC ROW IS HERE
return u.UTF8FromAnsi(response.Content); // u.UTF8FromAnsi CONVERT THE RESULT- IGNORE IT
}
private async Task GetOptimalRoute()
{
Task<byte[]> result = PostRequestToOptiRoutesAsync();
await result;
}
The problem is that when I call GetOptimalRoute() using VS debug, my thread is not immediately moved to the next row, but it acts like sync code. It pauses for few seconds - unlike the code in the link above!! How can I resolve this issue and make this code to be async?
