Promise never gets resolved in javascript

I have a asyn function in which I call another function that return a promise and also calls to another async function. Here is the code:

async function asyncAwaitRepeat(index) {
    if(index < 9) {
            await promise_animate(rectPointer); // the promise_animate return a promise
            await asyncAwaitRepeat(index + 1); // but my promise_animate never gets resolved
    }
}
asyncAwaitRepeat(asyncAwaitRepeatindex);

since I have some asynchronous code to execute so I cannot invoke resolve() directly. so I use call back

function promise_animate (index) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        animate(index, () => {resolve});  // since animate function is a asynchronous so we
                                        //cannot directly resolve() it
    })
}

and the animate function itself is async doing a bunch of asynchronous stuff

async function animate(rectIndex, animationPromiseFulfilled) {
    if(rectIndex < 8) {
        await promise_hightlight(rectIndex, "red");
        if( rectArray[rectIndex].value > rectArray[rectIndex+1].value ) {
            await promise_hightlight(rectIndex, "red");
          // doing a bunch of asynchronous stuff
           await animate(rectIndex+1, animationPromiseFulfilled); // << Here i call the
                                                               // function recursively
    }
    else if(rectIndex == 8) {
        await promise_hightlight(rectIndex, "red");
        if( rectArray[rectIndex].value > rectArray[rectIndex+1].value ) {
            await promise_hightlight(rectIndex, "red");
            // some more asynchronous stuff
        }
        await promise_hightlight(rectIndex, "green");
        rectPointer = 0;
        animationPromiseFulfilled("the animation function resolved");//<< the promise
                                                                     //resolve done
    }
}

But the fullfiled() is not doing its work and not resolving. Pls help

Answer

I think your resolve never getting called so you have to try like that:

 function promise_animate (index) {
        return new Promise(async(resolve) => {
            resolve(await animate(index));
        })
  }
