Implement timeout in Run Server Side Script

ayano · ‎03-03-2021

Is it possible to write a script in "Run Server Side Script" that will execute a timeout for 590 seconds?
Like this timeout in the picture.

@ayano

you can use this in the run server side script step to pause for the seconds

(function executeStep(inputs, outputs, stepResult, timeout) {

        var secondsValue = 590;
	var seconds = parseInt(secondsValue, 10) * 1000;
	var start = parseInt(new Date().getTime()) + seconds;
	while(start>parseInt(new Date().getTime())){
		// do nothing
	}
	stepResult.setOutputMessage('This step gave sleep of 590 seconds');
	stepResult.setSuccess();

}(inputs, outputs, stepResult, timeout));

I have not tested this recently.

But when I used something similar few months back it did work
