Command Input Parameters

input parameters	Input parameter type	Description
File Path	str	File path to wait for

Timeout	number or str	Maximum waiting time, in seconds

Command Output Parameters

Output parameters	Output parameter type	Description

Edge Cases

• When waiting for Create, returns True immediately if the path already exists; returns False if the path is still absent when the timeout expires.
• When waiting for Delete, returns True immediately if the path is already absent; returns False if the path still exists when the timeout expires.
• The command uses os.path.exists, so both files and folders count as existing. A timeout returns False instead of raising a timeout exception.
• Wait Type must be Create or Delete, and Timeout must be numeric.

Generation Notes

• Wait for creation or deletion. A timeout returns False and does not raise an exception.
