Neutralino.filesystem.getStats() not async

Neutralino.filesystem.getStats() not async

Expected Behavior

let stats = await Neutralino.filesystem.getStats('C:\\valid\\path');

should run fine, according to the docs

Actual Behavior

await also brings up the same error when I use it before any other function from Neutralino.os or Neutralino.filesystem namespace.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. run neu create "app-name" in shell
2. replace main.js code with the following:

// This file should be called *after* 
function onWindowClose() { //can close
    Neutralino.app.exit();
}

Neutralino.init();// initialize the app

Neutralino.events.on("windowClose", onWindowClose); // makes the app close

try {
    let appData = await Neutralino.os.getPath('data');// this throws error
    console.log(appData); 
    let stats = await Neutralino.filesystem.getStats(appData);// if I remove the `await` from the `Neutralino.os.getpath` call, this will throw the same await error. 
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
}

I also tried running the code without the await arguments entirely, and an unhelpful error message

{
    "code": "NE_RT_NATRTER",
    "message": "Native method execution error occurred. Failed because of: Unknown exception. Make sure that you've provided required parameters properly."
}

Hello. Please note that if you need to use await you have to wrap it with an async function. Here you need to make an async IIFE since you are calling await from the top of the scope.

(async () => {})(
    let itWorks = await Neutralino.filesystem.getStats(NL_PATH);
);

Or use promises if you like,

Neutralino.filesystem.getStats(NL_PATH)
    .then((itAlsoWorks) => {

});
