Can't get wait.for to wait

[iamerikjolson]

I've read and re-read your github documentation, and still can't get node to wait. What am I doing wrong?

var wait = require('wait.for'), testFunction = function(){ console.log('fn start'); wait.for(setTimeout, function(){}, 5000); console.log('fn end');
};

console.log('app start'); wait.launchFiber(testFunction); console.log('app end');

The expected outcome is:

• app start
• fn start (5 second delay)
• fn end
• app end

Instead what I get is

• app start
• fn start
• app end (5 second delay until the prompt comes back. I never get 'fn end')

wait for requires a standard async function, with callback(err,data) as last parameter. setTimeout do not callback. you do not get 'fn end' because the function at setTimeout never call back.

try this (not tested)

var wait = require('wait.for');

function standardAsync(param, callback){
    setTimeout( function(){
                  console.log(param);
                  callback(null,param);
        }, 5000);
};

function  testFunction(){
    console.log('fn start');
    wait.for(standardAsync,'test');
    console.log('fn end');
};

console.log('app start');
wait.launchFiber(testFunction);
console.log('after launch');
