QA Notes Summary
78% of regression tests passed on first run (down 5% QoQ)
Most failures occurred during mobile responsiveness checks
Post-release hotfixes were needed in 2 of 4 sprints
You are a senior software engineer. Given the following code and error message, identify the likely root cause and propose a solution.
Code:
async function getUserProfile(userId) {
const user = fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`).then(res => res.json());
console.log('User profile:', user.name);
return user;
}
Error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')
at getUserProfile (app.js:3:35)
Constraints:
Avoid changing APIs unless necessary
Optimize for readability and maintainability
Diagnosis of the issue:
The function attempts to access user.name, but user is a Promise and has not yet resolved to the actual user object. Therefore, user.name is effectively trying to access a property on an unresolved Promise, which leads to the TypeError.
Recommended fix:
Since the function is marked async, use await to resolve the Promise before attempting to access user.name. This ensures you’re working with the actual object, not a pending Promise.
Improved version of the code:
async function getUserProfile(userId) {
const user = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`).then(res => res.json());
console.log('User profile:', user.name);
return user;
}
