[Solved] set_timeout() doesn't delay before execution

#1

Here is my test code:

class test_plugin(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run( self, edit, pos=None ):
print( " test_plugin")

    def clbk( ):
        print("clbk ", time.time() )

    print("before set_timeout ", time.time() )
    sublime.set_timeout( clbk(), 10000 )
    print("before after_timeout ", time.time() )

Here is my output:

test_plugin
before set_timeout 1463143387.736514
clbk 1463143387.736514
before after_timeout 1463143387.736514

set_timeout_async() has the same issue. I have seen this issue on windows and linux on build 3114 and recent dev builds.

you are executing the clbk function immediately, and passing the output from that (None) to the set_timeout function. You need to use sublime.set_timeout( lambda: clbk(), 10000 ) or sublime.set_timeout( clbk, 10000 ) instead - either use a lambda or don’t include the parens.

Thanks for correction, it works as expected.

Is there a way to mark this issue as resolved?

standard practice is just to change the title of the post so that it has [Solved] at the front :slight_smile:
