How to clear Info / Error messages in Service Portal

[PabloL]

Hello SNOW community,

I have an issue where messages that I display in a custom widget using spUtil.addInfoMessage() sometimes don't clear out automatically, but sometimes they do.

I'm looking for a way to force the messages that I displayed to go away after a couple of seconds.

So I did try to use server side gs.addInfoMessage() combined with gs.flushMessages(), but I'm missing on how to wait a couple of seconds before clearing the messages, because setTimeout was not available from a Service Portal Widget's server script
