FILE attachment shows full script

This code sample is based on the Wab Dev Edition 2.7 print widget, specifically the print.js file.

I'm attempting to add custom queries inside the existing print.js code.  The print: function() is a method on the 

var PrintDijit = declare([_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin], { 
declaration from a dojo AMD style class.  See attached file for full print.js code.
I'm using the debug tools in a Chrome browser, and when attempting to execute 
queryTask.execute(query, resultsFunction);
the execute request skips the call back function call to resultsFunction and simply steps over the call back function, 
so this code block is bypassed
Any help is appreciated, Thanks Matt

var query = new esriQuery();
query.where = "PARCEL = '0136400001'";
query.returnGeometry = false;
query.outFields = ["ADDRESS"];
queryTask.execute(query, resFunction);  <<debugger executes this line, and skips the callback "resFunction" function
<<results function here is skipped
function resFunction(results){ 
      console.log(results.features);
      
      for (var i = 0; i < results.features.length; i++){ 
            var attsObject = results.features.attributes; 
            console.log(attsObject);
       }
};
COMPLETE SAMPLE CODE FUNCTION LISTED HERE:
print: function() {
if (this.printSettingsFormDijit.isValid()) { //"advanced" form

//get entered values
var form = this.printSettingsFormDijit.get('value');
lang.mixin(form, this.layoutMetadataDijit.get('value')); //cte array of custom text layout elements
lang.mixin(form, this.labelsFormDijit.get('value'));
this.preserve = this.preserveFormDijit.get('value');
lang.mixin(form, this.preserve);
this.layoutForm = this.layoutFormDijit.get('value');
var mapQualityForm = this.mapQualityFormDijit.get('value');
var mapOnlyForm = this.mapOnlyFormDijit.get('value');
lang.mixin(mapOnlyForm, mapQualityForm);

//get custom text elements, loop, query and tag related parcels - as entered by user
var elementsObj = this.customTextElementsDijit.get('value'); //get elements
var cteArray = [], cte = {}, hasDate = false, locale = dojoConfig.locale || 'en';
for (var p in elementsObj) {

//console.log(elementsObj

) Subject Parcel: 1231321 <<< returns

//console.log(p) Subject Parcel: <<<returns 32132132

//query for parcel address
var query = new esriQuery();
var queryTask = new esriQueryTask("https://......./rest/services/ServiceName/MapServer/5");
query.where = "PARCEL = '0136400001'";
query.returnGeometry = false;
query.outFields = ["ADDRESS"];
queryTask.execute(query, resFunction);
function resFunction(results){ //results is FeatureSet.features returns graphic[] array
console.log(results.features);
for (var i = 0; i < results.features.length; i++){ //graphic[] .length full graphics array "features"
var attsObject = results.features.attributes; //graphic[0].attributes individual graphic atts "features[0]", atts=Object (of field/val pairs)
console.log(attsObject);
}
};

if (p === 'Date') { // is date
cte

= new Date().toLocaleString(locale); // create date
hasDate = true;
}
else { // not date
cte

= "T1 " + elementsObj

+ " AddressHere";
}
cteArray.push(cte); //add cte to Array
}

//if date never found add it now to array
if(!hasDate) {
cteArray.push({ Date: new Date().toLocaleString(locale) });
}

//setup print template
var templateInfo = this._currentTemplateInfo;
var hasAuthorText = lang.getObject('layoutOptions.hasAuthorText', false, templateInfo);
var hasCopyrightText = lang.getObject('layoutOptions.hasCopyrightText', false, templateInfo);
var hasTitleText = lang.getObject('layoutOptions.hasTitleText', false, templateInfo);
var template = new PrintTemplate();
template.format = form.format; //pdf
template.layout = form.layout; //layout selected
template.preserveScale = (form.preserveScale === 'true' || form.preserveScale === 'force');
template.label = form.title;
template.exportOptions = mapOnlyForm;
template.showLabels = form.showLabels && form.showLabels[0];
template.layoutOptions = {
authorText: hasAuthorText ? form.author : "",
copyrightText: hasCopyrightText ? (form.copyright || this._getMapAttribution()) : "",
legendLayers: this._getLegendLayers(),
titleText: hasTitleText ? form.title : "",
customTextElements: cteArray
};
        
//execute print task
this.printparams.template = template;
this.printparams.extraParameters = {
printFlag: true
};
var fileHandel = this.printTask.execute(this.printparams);
var result = new printResultDijit({
count: this.count.toString(),
icon: (form.format === "PDF") ? this.pdfIcon : this.imageIcon,
docName: form.title,
title: form.format + ', ' + form.layout,
fileHandle: fileHandel,
nls: this.nls
}).placeAt(this.printResultsNode, 'last');
result.startup();
domStyle.set(this.clearActionBarNode, 'display', 'block');
this.count++;

} // end of advanced form is valid
// if advanced form is not valid
else {
this.printSettingsFormDijit.validate();
}

}, //end of print function

Try adding an errback function to see if it reports anything.

Here is the complete solution from the generic esri print widget with some custom code added, by moving the code outside of a for loop, I got better results...

//define a dojo class
define([
'dojo/_base/declare', //defines dojo classes //this simulates class based inheritance
'dijit/_WidgetBase',
'dijit/_TemplatedMixin',
'dijit/_WidgetsInTemplateMixin',
'esri/tasks/PrintTask',
'esri/tasks/PrintParameters',

...

var PrintDijit = declare([_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin], {

...

print: function() {
if (this.printSettingsFormDijit.isValid()) {

...

//query for parcel address
var query = new esriQuery();
query.where = "PARCEL = '0136400001'";
query.returnGeometry = false;
query.outFields = ["ADDRESS"];
queryTask.execute(query, lang.hitch(this, function(results) {
console.log(results.features);
}));
