VM and NodeVM behaves differently on await

[JonasJonny]

@helloanoop Can you try this? For my use case it works fine.

const { NodeVM } = require('vm2');
const { getAbcRequest } = require('...');

async getData(script) {
  try {
    const vm2 = new NodeVM({
      sandbox: {
        getAbcRequest,
      },
    });

    const asyncVM2 = vm2.run(`module.exports = async () => { ${script} }`, 'vm');
    return await asyncVM2();
  } catch(err) {
    return {
      err,
    };
  }
}

const response = await getData(`
  // script
  try {
    const response = await getAbcRequest();
    return response;  
  } catch(err) {
    throw err;
  }
`);

console.log('response', response);

This is expected. As JonasJonny pointed out for NodeVM module.exports as the script is run as a module.
