What it does

Flags Drizzle query expressions (db.select, db.insert, db.update, db.delete, db.$queryRaw) that are not preceded by an await keyword.

Why it matters

Forgetting await means your code continues executing before the query completes. The query runs as a dangling promise — errors are unhandled and the result is never used.

How it works

Pulsar checks whether the Drizzle query expression is wrapped in an await expression or assigned to a variable that is later awaited. If the query is used without await and not passed to Promise.all() or similar, the rule fires.

When to disable

Disable this rule if you intentionally fire-and-forget a query (e.g., logging, analytics events where the result is irrelevant).

Examples

const user = db.select().from(users).where(eq(users.id, 1));
// `user` is a Promise, not the result

const user = await db.select().from(users).where(eq(users.id, 1));
