Why below codes after "await" keyword are not execute? - flutter

Question

The method goes to the line that calls the method that calls it, without moving to the lines after the await keyword
class WordAndMeaning extends StatelessWidget {
WordAndMeaning({super.key});
final viewModel = locator<HomeViewModel>();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Observer(
builder: (_) {
if (viewModel.userDailyRight == null) {
return const CircularProgressIndicator();
} else if (viewModel.userDailyRight == 0) {
return const Text(
"Out of your limit",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red, fontSize: 20),
);
} else if (viewModel.userDailyRight != 0 && !viewModel.isWordsPulled) {
viewModel.runPullWord();
if (viewModel.isStartedWordPulling) {
return const CircularProgressIndicator();
}
I run runPullWord after check userDailyRight and isWordsPulled at this stateless widget.
List<String> wordList = [
"pencil",
"headphone",
"bag",
"door",
"dress",
"bin",
];
final String _apiLink = "https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/";
#action
runPullWord() async {
isStartedWordPulling = true;
learnedWordKey = await pullLearnedWordsKeys();
wordAndMeanList = await pullWord();
setRandomWordIndexRightNow();
}
#action
Future<List<String>> pullLearnedWordsKeys() async {
return (await _firestore
.doc("students/$userID/learnedwords/learnedwords")
.get())
.data()!
.keys
.toList();
}
#action
Future<List<WordModel>> pullWord() async {
List<WordModel> localWordAndMeanList = [];
isWordsPulled = false;
try {
for (String word in learnedWordKey) {
wordList.remove(word);
}
for (int i = 0; i < wordList.length; i++) {
_response = await Dio().get(_apiLink +
wordList[
i]);
_pulledData = _response.data;
List<WordModel> currentWord =
((_pulledData as List).map((e) => WordModel.fromMap(e)).toList());
localWordAndMeanList.add(currentWord[0]);
}
isStartedWordPulling = false;
isWordsPulled = true;
return localWordAndMeanList;
} catch (e) {
debugPrint(e.toString());
return Future.error(e);
}
}
When the line with _response works here, the program goes back to the viewModel.runPullWord() line in the widget as soon as it comes to the await keyword and the pullWord method is not completed(_response is still null). In this way, the pullWord method is repeatedly executed.
This situation made me question my knowledge. Why did this situation occur? How can I solve this?
