wait - Delay

Added in version pltOS: v1.10.3

Temporarily suspend test suite execution for a fixed duration, displaying an optional message on the PLT screen for the duration of the delay.

Usage:

- command: wait [<message>]
  timeout: <duration>

Argument

Description

timeout

Step-level field that provides the delay duration. Either a plain number, interpreted as milliseconds (e.g. 500), or a Go duration string such as 500ms, 5s, or 1m30s. Required; the step fails to parse if timeout: is omitted.

message

Optional: Message to display on screen during delay.

The operator can abort the delay early from the PLT screen; doing so aborts the running test plan.
