After URLSession.shared.dataTask its either not returning error or success

Question

After URLSession.shared.dataTask it's not either returning error or success.

The completion handler is not getting called. How can I check or how can I proceed further. There is no error the app is working as such, but without data on the screen which is displayed.

func getPromotionsData() {
    ConnectionManager.sharedInstance()?.getPromotions(PROMOTIONS, withCompletion: {
        result, error in
        if let result = result {
            print("result: \(result)")
        }
        var arrPromotions: [Any] = []
        if let object = result?["promotions"] as? [Any] {
            arrPromotions = object
        }
        self.dataSource = []
        if let arrPromotions = arrPromotions as? [AnyHashable] {
            self.dataSource = arrPromotions
        }
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            self.collectionView.reloadData()
        })
    })
}
func getPromotions(_ path: String?, withCompletion completion: @escaping (_ result: [AnyHashable : Any]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void) {
    let strPath = "/\(API)/\(path ?? "").json"
    let url = strPath.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)
    makeRequest(BASE_URL, path: url, httpMethod: GET_METHOD, httpBody: nil, completion: completion)
}

    print ("Request =======>",request)
    if let req = request {
        task = session.dataTask(with: request! , completionHandler: {
            data, response, error in
            var result: Any? = nil
            if error != nil {
                if let error = error {
                    print("\(error)")
                }
                if completion != nil {
                    completion(nil, error)
                }
            } else

                string = self.string(byRemovingControlCharacters: string)

            do {
                if let data = string?.data(using: .utf8) {
                    result = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as!  [AnyHashable : Any]
                    print ("Result ===============>",result)
                }
            } catch {

            if completion != nil {
                completion(result as! [AnyHashable : Any], error)
            }
        }
    })
}
task?.resume()
}

Actually the completion block is an asynchronous process and i was waiting for the control to go back immediately after the process ends in debugging mode. It works now as expected
