node.js - Dialogflow NodeJs Fulfillment V2 - webhook method call ends before completing callback

Question

I am developing a Dialogflow webhook using dialogflow-fulfillment-nodejs client to find temperature for a city. While using the services to fetch the temperature for a city, everything works and the correct response is also generated but the response is not sent to the user even when the right method is called.

Here is the issue in the Dialogflow GitHub repo

Code

function getTemp(agent) {
    const timeStart = new Date().getTime();
    console.info(`temp function called`);
    // agent.add(`Temperature in New Delhi is 50 degree Celsius!`); // This works
    serviceRequest.getTemp("New Delhi", function(resp){
        if (resp['status'] === 'Y') {
            // success
            const msg = `Temperature in New Delhi is ${resp['temp']} Celsius!`;
            console.log(`Speech Response -- ${msg}`);
            console.log(`Type of msg -> ${typeof msg}`);
            agent.add(msg);
        } else {
            // failure
            agent.add(`There was some error with the backend. Please try again later.`);
        }
        const timeEnds = new Date().getTime();
        console.log("
Complete 'getTemp' process took " + (timeEnds - timeStart) + " milliseconds.")
    });
    console.log("------ temperature function ends here ------");
}



'getTemp': function (city, callback) {
        let respBack = {};
        doTimeOutTest(function(resp){
            respBack['temp'] = resp;
            respBack['status'] = 'Y';
            callback(respBack);
        });

    }


function doTimeOutTest(callback){
    // below commented code takes < 10 ms to execute, but does not send any response back to dialogflow as call ends before it is executed
    // setTimeout(function() {
    //     callback("30 degree");
    // }, 1);

    // Below code works even when it takes more time to execute
    for(let i=0; i<10000; i++){
        for(let j=0; j<10000; j++){
            //
        }
    }
    callback("30 degree");
}

Console Logs

When the commented code runs

>>>>>>> S E R V E R   H I T <<<<<<<

temp function called
------ temperature function ends here ------
Speech Response -- Temperature in New Delhi is 30 degree Celsius!
Type of msg -> string

Complete 'getTemp' process took 10 milliseconds.

When the uncommented code runs

>>>>>>> S E R V E R   H I T <<<<<<<

temp function called
Speech Response -- Temperature in New Delhi is 30 degree Celsius!
Type of msg -> string

Complete 'getTemp' process took 77 milliseconds.
