ComboBox.ClickItem Asynchronous object call failed

 I forced problems with one of my helper methods, which clicks the ComboBox item.
While debugging I assumed that problem was because ComboBox opens and closes (blinks) several times when I click an item.

Seems that it is caused by checking if cb.wItemList contains the required item before selecting it
So I've tried to remove that check, expecting something like "Item not found" error. Instead of it, I got "Asynchronous object call failed" error. 
I've tried to cover it on "try {} catch () {}" as it shown below:

 

try {// ts-ignore
      let callResult = Runner.CallObjectMethodAsync(list, 'ClickItem', itemText);
      while (!callResult.Completed) {
        if (!counter.check(dontLogError)) break;
        isSelected = waitSelected ? waitItemSelected(100) : callResult.Completed;
        if (isSelected) break;
      }
    }
    catch (e) {
      Log.Error('Error selecting "' + itemText + '": "' + e + '"\nAvailable items list: ' + list.wItemList);
      return false;
    }
    return true;

 

but catching the error failed.

CallStack points me inside of waitSelectedItem(100), which is actually just 

 

 const waitItemSelected = (timeout = 0) => list.WaitProperty('Text', itemText, timeout);

 

Tried covering this method in "try {} catch () {}" didn't work

    Can you try using VAR instead of LET? Or stripping everything down to the TestComplete example [reference] using aqUtils.Delay(100):

    // Calls method asynchronously
var callResult = Runner.CallObjectMethodAsync(list, 'ClickItem', itemText);
 
// Performs the desired user actions
// ...
 
// Waits until the asynchronous call is over
while (! callResult.Completed )
  aqUtils.Delay(100);
 
// Checks the results
MethodResult = callResult.ReturnValue;

      I'll try changing to 'var' and retest
      I removed all var a long time ago because they are available outside the scope.
      But the solution with callResult.Completed can not work in some cases, because I also checking if the item was already selected in a loop

      Tried changing to "var"
      Didn't worked
      Added aqUtils.Delay(500) now described error is thrown on row with this delay

    Calling the same method synchronously throws the following error :
    The combo box item 'itemText' not found.

     

    That is actually exactly what I expect here, but I want to get in Async method call
