javascript - chrome.runtime.onMessage response with async await

I want to use async await in an onMessage listener:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) =>{
    var key = await getKey();
    sendResponse(key);
});

However I get undefined when I send a message.

From the documentation for chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener:

This function becomes invalid when the event listener returns, unless you return true from the event listener to indicate you wish to send a response asynchronously (this will keep the message channel open to the other end until sendResponse is called).

This works when I use a callback.

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) =>{
    getKey(key => {
        sendResponse(key);
    });
    return true;
});

However I would like to leverage the await syntax. But it does not seem to work and still returns undefined:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) =>{
    var key = await getKey();
    sendResponse(key);
    return true;
});

I do work-around by extracting to an async function.

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((request, sender, sendResponse) => {
  doSomethingWith(request).then(sendResponse);
  return true; // return true to indicate you want to send a response asynchronously
});

async function doSomethingWith(request) {
  var key = await getKey();
  // await .....
  return key;
}

The return value of an async function is implicitly wrapped in Promise.resolve. See async doc.

See onMessage.
