Client callback not fired when provide async function

[koteesy]

Problem description

Client callback and event on('data') not fired when provide async function callback to client method

Reproduction steps

For example, we have that call:

trackingService.parse(request, (err, response) => {
  console.log('Got response!');
});

This will print in our console Got response!

But if we add async declaration:

trackingService.parse(request, async (err, response) => {
  console.log('Got response!');
});

This cause infinite loading, and callback will never prints.

Environment

• OS name: OSx 11.2.3 (Macbook air)
• Node version: v14.16.0
• Package name and version ["grpc": "^1.24.7"]

The grpc package has been deprecated. I don't know what causes this problem, and at this point I don't think we're going to put in work to fix it. We recommend using @grpc/grpc-js instead. Do you experience the same problem with that library?

[murgatroid99]

It looks like the fix for this bug in grpc is in #1786, and the corresponding fix for @grpc/grpc-js is in #1787, which has been published in version 1.3.2.
