App hang when using promises/async on connecting

I'm using `NodeJS 8.11.3` with `Monk 6.0.6` and I have the next piece of code:

function monkConnect(url) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
resolve(monk(url));
});
}

await monkConnect("some valid url");

I have tried in so many ways to make this works( using the callback from `monk(url)`, making the function `async` and calling `await` on monk, and so many methods) and the code just freeze/hang and nothing happen and I don't know how to resolve it. Please some help.

Start by reproducing the issue's promise-based connection snippet with NodeJS 8.11.3, Monk 6.0.6, and a valid MongoDB URL. Then trace Monk's connection and callback handling to determine why the process hangs; done means the connection completes or fails visibly without freezing, with a regression test or documented reproduction.
