using gs.sleep in a scoped application

[dickhirsch]

Hi,

I'm trying to use gs.sleep (1000) in a scoped application and I keep getting an exception:. com.glide.script.fencing.MethodNotAllowedException: Function sleep is not allowed in scope "xxx"

I've tried "GlideSystem.sleep(1000); " but get a similar exception: java.lang.SecurityException: GlideSystem is not allowed in scoped applications exception.

Anyone have any hints.

Thanks,

D.

Hi D,

Try this

sleep(1000);



function sleep(ms) {

       var unixtime_ms = new Date().getTime();

       while(new Date().getTime() < unixtime_ms + ms) {}

}

Hi Matt,

Is it worth mentioning that the sleep function you define is quite busy?

I suppose that with a parameter of 1000 it will spin round a few times for 1 sec and then exit.

Once deployed it could be called with a large number to specify say 1 hour.

In that case might it use a lot of resources?

Not sure really hence my question.

Best Regards

Tony

Indeed Tony,

on top of wasting processing cycles, it's instantiating a new Date object in each loop.

Cheers,

I'm assuming that it is might be more of a permissions problem connected with my use of an scoped application. What is interesting is that the sleep function isn't even listed in the Scoped Glide System wiki entry.
