    Umbraco Forms Error - The asynchronous action method 'Index' returns a Task, which cannot be executed synchronously

    Hi

    I'm getting the following error on a page using Umbraco forms.

    [InvalidOperationException: The asynchronous action method 'Index' returns a Task, which cannot be executed synchronously.]
   System.Web.Mvc.Async.TaskAsyncActionDescriptor.Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary`2 parameters) +115

   Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoPageResult.ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context) +297

    I get it on submit of the form and, if I have multiple form pages, using the next button.

    Not sure where to start really. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem with a custom form (not umbraco forms).

    From my understanding what is happening is that you cannot use an async [HttpGet] controller method if you want to use return CurrentUmbracoPage() as the latter is sync.

    What you could do is transform the async GET method to a sync one but that would open another can of worms since awaiting async stuff inside a sync method is dangerous and can end up in deadlocks: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9343594/how-to-call-asynchronous-method-from-synchronous-method-in-c

    I bypassed the problem altogheter using an ajax call avoiding the 'return CurrentUmbracoPage()'...

    But I'm curious if there is a more idiomatic way to resolve the problem...

    Ive noticed there is a setting in the config to make the workflow calls async, havnt played with it yet though

    <setting key="ExecuteWorkflowAsync" value="False"/>
