+rule: unfulfilled-promise
+name: Unfulfilled promise
+title: Unfulfilled Promise
+---
+
+Finds promises which have been created during the recording but have remained unfulfilled at the
+end.
+
+### Rule logic
+
+The rule simply looks for return events with value of `Promise { <pending> }` without a subsequent
+update.
+
+### Notes
+
+`Promise { <pending> }` is a special value used by the appmap-node agent to represent promises that
+haven't been fulfilled yet. Normally, once the promise is fulfilled, an event update is added to the
+AppMap with the resolved value and total elapsed run time.
+
+However, if a promise remains unfulfilled when the recording ends (for example when a HTTP response
+is sent or a test case finishes) this pending state is never updated.
+
+Most of the time it means some asynchronous computation has been started and its results not awaited
+for and therefore not collected; such computations should be removed or the results awaited.
+
+In some cases this is an intended behaviour; for example, a background book-keeping or cleanup
+process might be started which doesn't directly impact the results of the operation that triggered
+it. Note that during testing such processes should still run to completion before a test case
+finishes (or else be suppressed altogether); otherwise there might be unintended interference
+between test cases leading to brittle tests. Each test case should start from a known, clean and
+quiescent environment.
+
+### Resolution
+
+Identify where the promise is created and make sure to `await` on it. Even when the result is void,
+some other part of the program might assume the asynchronous computation has completed. Without
+awaiting it at that point a race condition can result, leading to intermittent stability issues.
+
+### Options
+
+None
+
+### Examples
+
+```yaml
+- rule: unfulfilledPromise
+```
