//  your original code

const validatePreconditions = ({ exitOnFailure = true } = {}) => {

  checkIfPortIsAvailable(3000).then((val) => portSuccess = val , (err) => console.log("DEBUG1:",err))

  if (! portSuccess  && exitOnFailure) {
    logger.error(colors.red('Exiting due to unsatisfied precondition!'))
    process.exit(1)
  }
  return portSuccess

//  the async/await pattent
