Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

I want to run tests with a delay. Postman allows me to wrap the test function inside a setTimeout to delay the execution. I would like to have similar mechanism.

example:

setTimeout(function(){
  pw.test("Status code is 200", ()=> {  
      pw.expect(pw.response.status).toBe(200);    
  });
}, 15000);

Why should this be worked on?

some api calls take time to actually save the data. if you create the data and immediately call another endpoint to get the data (to be sure it worked) it doesnt give you the expected result because some endpoints take some time to finish. in these cases it is very useful to run Tests in a delayed fashion.
1- create a resource
2- wait for 2 seconds
3- run the test to get the resource you just created.

Is there any chance for this? We would benefit a lot from this feature.

Hey :) this is still open. Is there any chance? Maybe for an open source contribution?
