The PDFMerge never goes into the .then

[adam]

Hello, I've installed pdftk, and did npm install pdf-merge.

I tried a very basic merge where i have an array of absolute file paths and I attempt to get a buffer of the merged pdf.

I tried leaving it for defaults like leaving out the entire options object.
I have made sure pdftk is installed and added to PATH system environment vars
when I place breakpoints it seems to never go into the actual function and the .then OR the .catch

What am I missing here?

heres the code:
PDFMerge(pdfNameArr, {
output: "Buffer",
libPath: 'C:/Program Files (x86)/PDFtk/bin'
})
.then((testBuffer) => {
avariable = testBuffer;
console.log(testBuffer);
})
.catch(err=>{
console.log(err)
})

Let me know if there's anything else I should add for the question

EDIT:
Just tried the different syntax and im getting a very unclear error
Heres the code:
try{
var mergedpdf = await PDFMerge(pdfNameArr)
console.log(mergedpdf);
}
catch(err){
console.log(err)
}

heres the error:

Huh... this is funny, i just ran it again to replicate the error to post here and its working...
I wonder what heavenly force is responsible.
Anyway, I will look into this a bit more and update.
