'await' in non-async function

Reports a usage of await in a function that was possibly intended to be async but is actually missing the async modifier.

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

ES6PossiblyAsyncFunction
Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | JavaScript and TypeScript | Async code and promises

Although await can be used as an identifier, it is likely that it was intended to be used as an operator, so the containing function should be made async.
