Pause a Deluge code for 'X' seconds

Sleep can be used in a Node JS function, such as below

/**

* author: vincent.balfe@cloud-connect.ie

* @param seconds: literal - to be converted to ms

* @return JSON IO - SUCCESS or FAIL

*/

module.exports = async function( context, basicIO )

{

if (basicIO.getParameter("seconds"))

{

// Get 'seconds' param

var secs = (parseInt(basicIO.getParameter("seconds"))) * 1000;

await sleep(secs)

function sleep(ms) {

return new Promise((resolve) => {

setTimeout(resolve, ms);

});

}

basicIO.write("SUCCESS");

}

else

{

basicIO.write("FAIL");

}

}

This can then be called multiple times ( no more than 5, and no longer than 1 minute sleep-time in total ) from a regular deluge function like so:

info "Start: " + now;
if( (thisapp.sleep_function("1")).contains("SUCCESS") )
{
info "Step 1 ( 1 second ): " + now;
if( (thisapp.sleep_function("2")).contains("SUCCESS") )
{
info "Step 2 ( 2 seconds ): " + now;
if( (thisapp.sleep_function("3")).contains("SUCCESS"))
{
info "Step 3 ( 3 seconds ): " + now;
if( (thisapp.sleep_function("4")).contains("SUCCESS"))
{
info "Step 4 ( 4 seconds ): " + now;
if( (thisapp.sleep_function("30")).contains("SUCCESS"))
{
info "Step 5 ( 30 seconds ): " + now;
}
}
}
}
}

Result

Start: 13-May-2022 09:42:50
Step 1 ( 1 second ): 13-May-2022 09:42:52
Step 2 ( 2 seconds ): 13-May-2022 09:42:55
Step 3 ( 3 seconds ): 13-May-2022 09:42:59
Step 4 ( 4 seconds ): 13-May-2022 09:43:03
Step 5 ( 30 seconds ): 13-May-2022 09:43:33
