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...
