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?

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"

    I derived it from: https://artillery.io/docs/basic-concepts/#example-testing-an-e-commerce-api They define step 4 as: `POST to the cart endpoint with the same id after pausing for 3 seconds` which gets turned into the following artillery code: `- think: 3 - post: url: "/cart" json: productId: "{{ id }}"` I couldn't find where 'think' is explicitly documented as a pause. – user9331104 Feb 09 '18 at 06:53
