Simple way to write sync functions in node.js

Question

For testing purposes my code would look nicer if I would be able to execute some test functions waiting in sync for their results. I know the principal ideas about event programming in node.js, but during tests which are run synchronously blocking processor is not a problem for me. Is there any simple (one-liner would be best) solution to execute function which returns some values by callback(err, ret) to return that ret by "return", and pretend that execution is synchronous.

Accepted Answer

You can use node-sync for that purpose https://github.com/0ctave/node-sync

But in general I'd recommend you don't. The mocha test framework for example allows you to do async tests. Also async waterfall https://github.com/caolan/async#waterfall is a nice way to pseudo synchronize your code.

I'd say stay in the async mind frame. Even when testing.
