Code behaving unexpectedly on backend

Hello all,

I wrote an asynchronous function which is supposed to check if a given url returns a ‘200’ from a get and otherwise wait a few seconds to try again a limited number of times. The code works just fine when I run it in my computer using node but when I transfer it to backend it only checks for the site once and then immediately stops when receiving an error. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code I’m using on backend:

async function wait(url,delay=10000,attp=3){
 let t0 = new Date(Date.now());
 let attempts = 0;
    console.log('starting...');
 async function check(){
 if(attempts<attp){
            console.log('ATTEMPTS: ',attempts);
 return await request.get(url).on('error',
 async function(err){
                console.log('ERROR: ',err);
                attempts+=1;
 return await setTimeout(()=>{check()},delay);
            }).on('response',
 async function(response){
 if(response.statusCode===200){
 let t1 = new Date(Date.now());
                    wixData.insert('pagSeguroTimeStats', { 'time': (t1 - t0) / 1000. });
 return '200';
                }else{
                    attempts+=1;
                    console.log('not 200');
 return await setTimeout(()=>{check()},delay);
                }
            });
        }else{
 return '404';
        }
    }
 return check();
}
