Comments
This function can be used to delay the code execution for a specific time. Note that this function is asynchronous (like the most of javascript), so can't write "doSomething(); sleep(1000); doAfterDelay;". See the examples below.
Examples
The function can be used in two way:
1. Standalone:
console.log("one1");
sleep(2000)
.then(function() {
console.log("two2");
});
2. Within the chain:
// SmartBots Playground code start v1.0 (automatic line)
http.get("https://mysmartbots.com")
.then(function() {
console.log("one");
return sleep(2000);
})
.then(function() {
console.log("two");
})
.then(function() {
// Gracefully stop the test script
exit();
});
