OpenWhisk parallel execution

Question

I tried the code from this answer Parallel Actions in OpenWhisk

But instead of getting the result, i only get back the activationID. It seems that the actions are not blocking when invoking an array of actions?

Double check that the action invocation is not taking longer that 60 seconds it will be converted to async invoke and respond with the activation id — csantanapr
It was a really simple function, and i checked immediately with the activation id the result. i'm sure that it hasn't took longer than 60 seconds — Matthias

The calls to "action1, action2", in the code, which you have linked to, are done blocking. However, that does not affect the way you call the action itself. To call it blocking, use

wsk action invoke <action-name>  -b

This will give you a lot of output. You can reduce it by filtering to the result only

wsk action invoke <action-name> -br
