Pause (waitForTimeout) ​

A hard pause in milliseconds. Value is a number of ms. Use rarely: prefer waitForSelector or waitForURL.

Step model ​

Target/Value facts match the source-of-truth catalog and Autotest step.

Steps ​

1. Add a waitForTimeout step.
2. In Value enter duration in milliseconds, for example 500.
3. Source must be INLINE.
4. Save.

The step is stored on the autotest. Next - neighbouring steps or autotest run creation.

Examples ​

Short animation pause ​

Fields in the UI:

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):

{
  "action_name": "waitForTimeout",
  "value_text": "300",
  "value_source_type": "INLINE"
}

Common mistakes ​

• Do not use 5000–30000 ms instead of waiting for an element - the scenario becomes brittle and slow.
• TEST_ACCOUNT is forbidden.

Screenshots of the step form for waitForTimeout will be added here in a later pass.
