Possible in Jenkins to add sleep time between build actions?

I am starting a JBoss server in Jenkins as a build action. The next action runs a set of tests. I need to add sleeptime between the two actions. Does anyone know how to do this easily?

You can add sleep command (on Unix) in the test build action before test execution.

It is possible to use sleep step in your Jenkins Pipeline. The step is included in Pipeline: Basic Steps.

Example:

steps {
  sleep time: 250, unit: 'MILLISECONDS'
}

all previous answers are correct, here is more detailed info for linux envirnment.

  1. Search you existing Job Configuration for "Add build step"

  2. Select Execute Shell and then add sleep some_number.

There is a built-in feature in Jenkins to put a sleep but it is not easy to find it because they call it differently.

On the following screenshot

screenshot

You can see there is a Quiet period setting in the advanced project options that is "executed" before the current job (project).

If you have 3 jobs you can as well set this setting for jobs 2 and 3 which will make:

job1 -> (sleep -> job2) -> (sleep -> job3)

If you mean to know how to sleep between those build steps you can use sleep with Execute shell type.

sleep 30s
