Socket.setTimeout(callback, delay)

Note

A module with a better and standard API exists.

The new k6/experimental/websockets API partially implements the WebSockets API living standard.

When possible, we recommend using the new API. It uses a global event loop for consistency with other k6 APIs and better performance.

Call a function at a later time, if the WebSocket connection is still open then.

ParameterTypeDescription
callbackfunctionThe function to call when delay has expired.
delaynumberThe delay time, in milliseconds.

Example

JavaScript 
import ws from 'k6/ws';
import { sleep } from 'k6';

export default function () {
  console.log('T0: Script started');
  const url = 'ws://echo.websocket.org';
  const response = ws.connect(url, null, function (socket) {
    console.log('T0: Entered WebSockets run loop');
    socket.setTimeout(function () {
      console.log('T0+1: This is printed');
    }, 1000);
    socket.setTimeout(function () {
      console.log('T0+2: Closing socket');
      socket.close();
    }, 2000);
    socket.setTimeout(function () {
      console.log('T0+3: This is not printed, because socket is closed');
    }, 3000);
  });
  console.log('T0+2: Exited WebSockets run loop');
  sleep(2);
  console.log('T0+4: Script finished');
}
