setTimeout called only once in node_helper.js

[bobbob601]

Hi,

I’m getting crazy with this, read stackoverflow, articles and still I cannot success to do a simple timeout.
In the last version of my plugin,
this code is called once and in the console I’ll see only one “boo”

setTimeout(function () {
  console.log('boo')
}, 100);

Then nothing in the console, others modules work fine, but not mine (it works but never refreshs)

here is the full code

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const forge = require('node-forge');
const unirest = require('unirest');

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({

		updateTimer:"",
		start: function () {
	    		this.started = false;
			console.log("MMM-Ratp- NodeHelper started");
	  	},


		socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
			
			
setTimeout(function () {
  console.log('boo')
}, 100);

		}

what could causes this ? I tried everything, started from scratch but always the same issue

@bobbob601 a timeout is only fired once, what you want is an interval so replace setTimeout with setInterval

I’m ashamed…
