ATF-server script to wait some time

[Community Alums]

Is there any way to write a script using server side step in ATF to make step case to wait for 10 seconds?

[Jace Benson]

You can make a new custom step with this code.

(function executeStep(inputs, outputs, stepResult, timeout) {
	var seconds = parseInt(inputs.u_seconds, 10) * 1000;
	var start = parseInt(new Date().getTime()) + seconds;
	while(start>parseInt(new Date().getTime())){
		// do nothing
	}
	stepResult.setOutputMessage('Waited ' + inputs.u_seconds + ' seconds.');
	stepResult.setSuccess();
}(inputs, outputs, stepResult, timeout));

If you want to see it in action clone this repo https://github.com/jacebenson/x_8821_atf/

You need to make a custom test step definition, with the input of `u_seconds`

[Csaba Rozinyak]

As far as I understand the number of seconds is hardcoded into your script and set at 10 seconds. I can see that a field flashes for a fracture of a second to set exactly seconds when I add the custom step, but it gets hidden. I have tried to add an input but the output says Waited 0 seconds and the Client Test Runner keeps waiting before the next step, seemingly until I interrupt the test.

I suppose you meant with the above comment that in addition to the script you must create an input variable with the column name u_seconds. Not sure if the types I have tried so far are causing the step to output "Waited 0 seconds" (previously it was undefined) but can you please be more specific on how you set up the input variable for this code to work, including type?

Thanks in advance! 🙂
