I'm looking up a group after creating it in Okta. It hasn't yet been synced, and I need to handle this situation.

So I

apply()

my Okta group id and inside, I call

getGroup()

, with the intention of conditionally creating resources that need an identitystore group id inside the

apply()

(yuck, but it looks like it has to be done.

The problem is that when I call

getGroup()

with the group name which doesn't yet exist, it throws an error, and it's not being caught by try-catch.. don't know why, possibly something to do with asynchronicity?

Is there something special I need to do to catch an exception thrown by an AWS SDK call like

getGroup()

, that presumably is async behind the scenes?

Ooo.. probably solved my own query.. it returns a promise so I shouldn't be try-catching, I should be `.catch()`ing...
