I have this workflow but get “$.respond() not called for this invocation” as error:
hello world!Can anyone help?
Hi , how do you do the delay on your workflow?
just the step = should I code it?
, there’s a helper function that you can use (as the image below). Just search for “Helper Function” and then search for Delay.
That is what I use
But fails with the reponse
, is it possible for you to record the behavior?
I tried to reproduce your behavior with the workflow but I see it executed correctly
Since the delay step suspends the execution of your workflow, you can’t delay and then return an HTTP response synchronously. @U05A7KLNALC can you rewrite the delay step above by awaiting a Promise on a setTimeout for 10 seconds?
Sure, you can use a Promise with a setTimeout to create a delay in your code. Here’s how you can do it: export default { name: "delayedResponse", type: "http", version: "0.0.1", props: { http: "$.interface.http", }, async run({ $ }) { // Create a new promise that resolves after a 10 second delay await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10000)); // Send the HTTP response this.http.respond({ status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "text/plain", }, body: "Hello, world!", }); }, }; This code creates a new Promise that resolves after a 10 second delay. The await keyword causes the function to pause and wait for the Promise to resolve before continuing. After the delay, the function sends the HTTP response.
