It is possible to create a PreRun timeout script?

[jighen555]

When i run an HTTP call, i need to sleep 10 seconds after the API return a response.

It is possible to create a PreRun timeout script?
Something like this (Postman example):
function sleep() {
setTimeout(function(){
console.log("Sleeping for 10 seconds");
     }, 10000);
}

Why you like to use sleep for 10s after response, just trying to understand your use case?

Are you running multiple pre requests?

[jighen555]

Yes exactly, i have to run two call and i need to wait 10 second when a team member run the second call.
I need to implement this security requirement for my company.

setTimeout function is not enabled in scripts yet, Will enable in the next update.

[jighen555]

Ok good! When about the update will be available?
Consider that a big world company want to replace postman with your software, it could be a good advertisement for you and your software.

Thank you for the support!

[rangav]

that’s great to know.

Planning to release new update next week.

Can I know your company name and no of devs planning to use the extension?

[jighen555]

Unfortunately I am not able to put the name of my company for privacy, I am so sorry, but when we will terminate our migration from Postman to Thunderclient I can say you the name without problems 👍

[rangav]

Sure, No problem

I tested the sleep time and it works!
Thank you very very much for this super fix developed in such short time.

I follow you on linkedin, if you will accept me i want to ask some other question, if it possible.
Otherwise, good luck for the future!

[rangav]

Thanks for confirmation, Sure let me know your question

[jighen555]

Now i understand why execute scripts before the rest call.
It is possible to run the sleep time script after the rest call? For example in the Tests tab:

setTo is just an example, my finally goal is only run the sleep time script after the HTTP call and before return the response.
Basically delay the response.

[rangav]

You should be able to use in Tests

steps here
https://github.com/rangav/thunder-client-support/blob/master/docs/filters.md#filters-in-tests

1. select Json Query test

2. Use json | sleep in the left input

[jighen555]

Sorry i have another question regarding the sleeptime.
Now my flow is:
Run HTTP call --> wait 40 seconds --> return response and console.log("Sleep time 40 sec")

It is possibile to create this flow?
Run HTTP call --> return response --> wait 40 seconds --> console.log("Sleep time 40 sec")

[rangav]

You can use the custom filter in Tests and have the sleep functionality.
