-When running on JavaScript code, the JSdoc is prioritized over the type inference, so make sure that they are correct, using a `Promise<T>` type when needed.
+When calling a function that returns a promise as the last expression, you might forget to return it, especially if you refactored your code from a single-expression arrow function.

+=== Exceptions
+
+The rule does not raise issues if you are awaiting a function whose definition contains JSdoc with `@returns` or `@return` tags. This is due to JSdoc often mistakenly declaring a returning type without mentioning that it is resolved by a promise. For example:
 
-[source,js,diff-id=3,diff-type=compliant]
+[source,js]

-  return Promise.resolve(42);
