Dart2JS Cannot get async code to run when converted from Dart to Javascript

Question

main() async {
  print('Hello World');
  await getAsyncString().then((hello) => print(hello));
}

Future<String> getAsyncString() async {
  return 'Hello Async World';
}

This is my code example, index.dart. It is in my web folder.

I run webdev build to compile to js.

When I run dart web/index.dart in my web folder I get the expected output of

Hello World
Hello Async World

When I run node build/index.dart.js or index.js I only get

Hello World

Is the async code running and is this expected behavior?

The full output is too long to post.

Steps to reproduce:

touch testcompile.dart

add the code

dart2js -O2 -o index.js testcompile.dart

node index.js

If you can provide the generated Javascript code from your index.dart.js, it may be helpful to people attempting to answer the question. – Grazia

The output is too long to place in the question. It is relatively easy to replicate though. For anyone interested, install the dart sdk dartlang.org/tools/sdk touch testcompile.dart, add the code, dart2js -O2 -o index.js testcompile.dart, finally node index.js – Trojan
