Why don't my promisify and jwt return values or errors?

Question

if(req.cookies.token_name) {
    try {
        const decoded = await promisify(jwt.verifiy)(req.cookies.token_name, 
        process.env.jwtsecret);
        console.log(decoded);
    } 
    
    catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
}

This is the bit I'm having problems with. It doesn't log the decoded variable but it also doesn't give any errors. Can anyone help me with this?

Are you calling in an asynchronous context? On a separate topic, you should use `console.error` when printing error data. On linux stdout is buffering and your process may exit (crash) before writing, stderr is non-buffering and will write immediately. — leitning, Jun 30 '21 at 15:58

I think you have a typo in your function name, although it's hard to tell without seeing your import/require statements. verifiy should be verify.

const decoded = await promisify(jwt.verify)(req.cookies.token_name, ...);
