How do you add a pause in a flow for artillery?

Question

Is there a way of injecting a 1 to 2 second pause within a flow for scenarios that are asynchrounous and immediately trying to get the value will fail unless it rested for a couple of seconds?

Answer 1

Use think with the number of seconds you'd like to pause for. In this example we GET /first_thing, wait two seconds, then GET /second_thing.

  - name: "Thinkflow"
    flow:
      - get:
           url: "/first_thing"
      - think: 2
      - get:
           url: "/second_thing"
