async function - await not waiting for promise

Question

I\'m trying to learn async-await. In this code -

const myFun = () => {
    let state = false;

    setTimeout(() => {state = true}, 2000);

    return

This is my routine dealing with await and async using a Promise with resolve and reject mechanism

    // step 1 create a promise inside a function
    function longwork()
    {
        p =  new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            result = 1111111111111 // long work here ; 

            if(result == "good"){
                resolve(result);
            }
            else
            {
                reject("error ...etc")
            } 
        })

        return p
    }

    // step 2 call that function inside an async function (I call it main)and use await before it
    async function main()
    {
         final_result = await longwork();
         //..

    }  

    //step 3 call the async function that calls the long work function
    main().catch((error)=>{console.log(error);})

Hope that saves someone valuable hours
