wait for a fixed amount of time without until-condition

[Manuel Mauky]

Hi,

is it possible to let awaitility to wait for a fixed amount of time without a condition?

Basically I'd like to say "wait for x seconds". I'm new to the API but as far as I can see with the methods on the ConditionFactory we only configure
logic for how long it will wait but the actual "waiting" is started with "until". However, I don't know what to provide to the until method.

I tried something like this:

await().atMost(1000, MILLISECONDS).until(() -> true);

However, this throws a ConditionTimeoutException.

Best regards, Manuel

Hi,

I don't see a reason for why you want to use Awaitility for this, just use Thread.sleep(..)?

Because Thread.sleep(...) is not machine-independent. 

"Using Thread.sleep in a test is just generally a bad idea. It creates brittle tests that can fail unpredictably depending on environment ("Passes on my machine!") or load. Don't rely on timing (use mocks) or use libraries such as Awaitility for asynchroneous testing."  - SonarQube

Manuel's initial approach was almost spot-on, it just needs a minor adjustment:

Awaitility.await().pollDelay(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS).until(() -> true);

Except when you want to wait more than 10 seconds (the default timeout value), because then you have to specify a timeout larger than that:

Awaitility.await().pollDelay(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS).atMost(16, TimeUnit.SECONDS).until(() -> true);

So there is a workable solution, using a tool that was never intended to be used this way.
