'await' works, but calling task.Result hangs/deadlocks

Question

I have the following four tests and the last one hangs when I run it. Why does this happen:

[Test]
public void CheckOnceResultTest()
{
    Assert.IsTrue(CheckStatus().Result);
}

[Test]
public async void CheckOnceAwaitTest()
{
    Assert.IsTrue(await CheckStatus());
}

[Test]
public async void CheckStatusTwiceAwaitTest()
{
    Assert.IsTrue(await CheckStatus());
    Assert.IsTrue(await CheckStatus());
}

[Test]
public async void CheckStatusTwiceResultTest()
{
    Assert.IsTrue(CheckStatus().Result); // This hangs
    Assert.IsTrue(await CheckStatus());
}

private async Task<bool> CheckStatus()
{
    var restClient = new RestClient(@"https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/1");
    Task<IRestResponse<DummyServiceStatus>> restResponse = restClient.ExecuteTaskAsync<DummyServiceStatus>(new RestRequest(Method.GET));
    IRestResponse<DummyServiceStatus> response = await restResponse;
    return response.Data.SystemRunning;
}

---

I use this extension method for restsharp RestClient:

public static class RestClientExt
{
    public static Task<IRestResponse<T>> ExecuteTaskAsync<T>(this RestClient client, IRestRequest request) where T : new()
    {
        var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<IRestResponse<T>>();
        RestRequestAsyncHandle asyncHandle = client.ExecuteAsync<T>(request, tcs.SetResult);
        return tcs.Task;
    }
}

public class DummyServiceStatus
{
    public string Message { get; set; }
    public bool ValidVersion { get; set; }
    public bool SystemRunning { get; set; }
    public bool SkipPhrase { get; set; }
    public long Timestamp { get; set; }
}

Why does the last test hang?

Answer 1

Acquiring a value via an async method:

var result = Task.Run(() => asyncGetValue()).Result;

Syncronously calling an async method

Task.Run( () => asyncMethod()).Wait();

No deadlock issues will occur due to the use of Task.Run.
