Adding a Wait Stage

Add a Wait stage in the build pipeline to test the pipeline, which pauses the build run for a specific duration.

Before you add a stage, you must have a build pipeline.

The Wait stage can't be added as the first stage to a build pipeline. The pipeline must have at least one Managed Build stage.

This stage adds a specified duration of delay in the build pipeline. Duration is given in seconds, for example, 300 seconds. During this duration, the build process is paused.

1. Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under DevOps, click Projects.
2. Select a project and a build pipeline.
3. To add a stage to the pipeline, click the + icon.

6. Enter a name and description for the stage. Adding a description is optional.
7. Enter the wait time in seconds.
8. To add the stage to the pipeline, click Add.
To create a build pipeline, run the create command:
Command
oci devops build-pipeline create --project-id
To add a Wait stage for the pipeline, run the create-wait-stage command:
Command
oci devops build-pipeline-stage create-wait-stage
Required parameters:
- --build-pipeline-id
- --wait-criteria
- --stage-predecessor-collection
To get all the commands for build-pipeline and build-pipeline-stage:
Command
```
oci devops build-pipeline -h
```
Command
```
oci devops build-pipeline-stage -h
```
To get help for the create-wait-stage command:
Command
```
oci devops build-pipeline-stage create-wait-stage -h
```
To create a build pipeline, use the CreateBuildPipeline operation.

To add a Wait stage for the pipeline, use the CreateBuildPipelineStage operation. For the buildPipelineStageType attribute, specify the value as WAIT.
