How to run synchronous js in jsx?

I'm trying to run a promise in jsx. My current setup is cep to jsx and code executes but I'm trying to add a promise so my code can be synchronous.

Here is a simple example:

var f = new File("/Users/ohms/Desktop/cltemplate.ai");

function setTemplate(f) {

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

var doc = app.open (f);

return resolve();

}

);

}

// open the template

setTemplate(f);

This is giving me an error when I run it in extended script toolkit.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Correct answer Ten A

ExtendScript basically works synchronously.

Here is an example.

var f = new File("/Users/ohms/Desktop/cltemplate.ai");
if (f.exists) app.open(f); 
else alert("File not found...");

And you'd better read first scripting guide in below.

ExtendScript as EC3 and it doesn't support promise.

Ok thank you. How can I run code synchronous?

Currently I read default would be synchronous but it doesn't seem to be the case.
