Catalog client script is showing as the script is not VA supported

[sharan Prasad]

"This catalog client script is not VA supported due to the presence of the following variables in the script: setTimeout" is the information message I received when I was scripting for a client script.

setTimeout(function(){ g_form.clearMessages();},3000);

What is your question? The message states what the issue is/could be. It's unclear what/why you are doing this, and because of that, we don't know what it is you want from us.

Is it really an issue (doesn't VA work correctly with this catalog item) or can't you save the script due to this error? Or are you writing it to work in VA like this?

Here I was scripting to make the error message to get disappeared in 3 seconds. So for that I used the

script : g_form.addErrorMessage(" ");

setTimeout(function(){ g_form.clearMessages();},3000);

Like this setTimeout will not work. As it is showing "This catalog client script is not VA supported due to the presence of the following variables in the script: setTimeout".

Is there any other way to solve this?

@sharan Prasad 

the error clearly says that function is not supported in VA so you cannot use that

what's your business requirement to give timeout?

script : g_form.addErrorMessage(" ");

setTimeout(function(){ g_form.clearMessages();},3000);

And it was not an error, it was showing as infoMessage.
