What causes the warning that a coroutine was never awaited?
KitForma editorial guide. Calling an async function creates a coroutine object; it does not run the function to completion. Dropping that object without awaiting or scheduling it triggers the warning.
Step-by-step guidance
Calling an async function creates a coroutine object; it does not run the function to completion. Dropping that object without awaiting or scheduling it triggers the warning.
Inside async code use
await operation(). At a synchronous program entry point, use the appropriate event-loop runner once. If the work should run concurrently, create a task and retain ownership of its result and errors. Test a deliberately failing operation to ensure its exception is observed. Do not call asyncio.run inside an already running event loop. Fire-and-forget work is especially fragile during request shutdown unless a longer-lived task manager owns it.Sources and verification
