Scheduler Wait action doesn't resume

[Karsten]

Hi there,

I've built a very simple recipe that should wait for 10 seconds and then resume and complete. But it never passes the wait action.

I'm in GMT+1 timezone and the resume timezone is converted PST but it is the correct time.

Am I using it wrong?

Thanks,

Karsten

Hi @Prudvi,
I agree with your point. I was also tested but failed to include the point and attachment. However, testing the recipe doesn't yield the expected result. We need to start the recipe and allow it to pick up the job.

Thanks and Regards,

@Karsten  ,Wait is a part of long action and such actions does not work on test mode , you will have to start the recipe. 
list of long actions are here - https://docs.workato.com/recipes/long-actions.html#list-of-long-actions

@vijayalakshmi ,
Not always, but in this case, we use time in milliseconds (e.g., 0.010 or 0.10), and the recipe will run in test mode.

However, it is not recommended or considered best practice to run long actions in test mode. Instead, keep the recipe in a start state and test it.

Hello,

I'm facing the same issue as initially described. What I want to achieve is in the rate of an api rate limit issue, instead of stopping the process, I want to set it in pause till the rate limit reset.

I tried what was described as a solution but the workato schedule never restart the process. I'm in UTC+2 can this be an issue with the workato reference date which seems to be Pacific time ?

I tried to understand using a very basic recipe.

Logging the current time, waiting for 10 sec   and after I was expecting an email.

The second screenshot showing the 'scheduled_resume_at' value was done @ 5:15 PM

Did I configure something wrongly ?

Thanks for help,

Philippe

Scheduler doesn't work when testing recipes. To "test" it, you need to start the recipe and call it.
