How to use delay to add/remove classes

Inside the .click(function () {}); I am trying t oget it to remove a class, add another, delay a second, then reverse everything again. It seems so simple to me yet I am stumped on this broken function:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var items = $(".tabs-group .sidebar ul li:not(:last-child) a");
    var prompt = $(".prompt-button");
    prompt.click(function () {
        $(items).removeClass("pulse").addClass("solid").delay(1000).removeClass("solid").addClass("pulse");
    });
});

Help appreciated, thanks!

Even though PSL answer is probably the best solution, here an alternative. You could create you own delay function since .delay() work only on queued elements.

Here an example :

(function($){
    if($ && !$.fn.wait){
        $.fn.wait = function(time, fn){
            setTimeout(fn.bind(this), time);
            return this;
        }
    }
})(jQuery)

After inserting this in your files, you could call it like that :

$(items).removeClass("pulse").addClass("solid").wait(1000, function(){
     this.removeClass('solid');
})

You have an extra $ in items

$(document).ready(function() {
    var items = $(".tabs-group .sidebar ul li:not(:last-child) a");
    var prompt = $(".prompt-button");
    prompt.click(function () {
        items.removeClass("pulse").addClass("solid").delay(1000).removeClass("solid").addClass("pulse");
    });
});

Try placing the subsequent operation in the queue. Otherwise removeClass, addClass is not added to FX queues to have it delayed by applying delay directly.

$(items).removeClass("pulse").addClass("solid").delay(1000).queue(function(){
                               $(this).removeClass("solid").addClass("pulse");
});

You could do:

$(items).toggleClass("pulse solid").delay(1000).queue(function(){
                               $(this).toggleClass("pulse solid");
});
