Geek asks and answers

Is there any race condition below?

I have the code below on my express server (reduced it for brevity). I have a common object that I add / modify / read at three different calm endpoints. Since all HTTP requests in nodejs are asynchronous, I could send both requests at the same time and receive the request. So, although PUT has occurred, but lets say that the status is not updated, can my GET get a slightly outdated answer?

From what I understand, and my testing shows that there are no race conditions. Since updating an object resultsis a synchronous operation, and all async operations must wait for it. Can someone help with a better explanation, is this correct or not?

    var obj = {};
    const exec = require('child_process').exec;
    app.post('/foo', (req, res) => {
         var result = {};
         result.id = generateSomeRandomId();
         result.failed = 0;
         result.status = 'running'
         //execute some command and update result
         const child = exec('some command');
         child.stdout.on('data',  (data) => {
             //some logic
         });
         child.stderr.on('data',  (data) => {
             result.failed = result.failed + 1;
          });
         child.on('close',  (code, signal) => {
              if (signal !== null && signal !== undefined) {
                    result.status = 'cancelled';
              } else {
                    result.status = 'completed';
                    result.runtime = calculateRunTime();
                }
         });
         result.pid = child.pid;
         obj[result.id] = result; 
         res.send(result); 
    }   

    app.put('/foo/:id', (req, res) => {
         var result =  obj[req.params.id];
         if (result.status === 'running' && result.pid !== undefined) {
              kill(result.pid, 'SIGKILL');
              result.status = 'cancelled';
              result.runtime = calculateRunTime();
         }
         res.send(result);
    }   
    app.get('/foo/:id', (req, res) => {
         var result =  obj[req.params.id];
         res.send(result);
    }

           result.failed = result.failed + 1;
           resolve(false);

     result.pid = child.pid;
     obj[result.id] = result;
     res.send(result); 
}   

app.get('/foo/:id', (req, res) => {
     var result =  obj[req.params.id];
     if(result.status === 'running') {
       result.promise.then(() => res.send(result));
     }
     else {
       res.send(result);
     }
}

In this case, the GET will respond only when childexecuted by mistake or a close event.
