sleep vs page.waitForTimeout #2084
Description
What
Users often use sleep when they should use page.waitForTimeout.
Solution
Use page.waitForTimeout instead of sleep. page.waitForTimeout is asynchronous and doesn't block the thread, allowing other background events to continue which is important for browser tests since there's usually a lot going on in the background. sleep is synchronous and blocks the thread, preventing other background tasks from completing. working with sleep will affect the measurements.
Create dedicated documentation for this. Currently this is detailed in: https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/using-k6-browser/recommended-practices/simulate-user-input-delay/ but i think it would be better in its own page.
